Brittani Senser, LICSW - Therapist in Minnesota

About Brittani

Brittani Senser is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a focus on practical, straightforward help for people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, and family concerns. Brittani emphasizes clear steps and real tools over jargon.

She explains options plainly and helps people decide what to try first. Brittani uses therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to understand what holds someone back. Sessions tend to focus on skills, understanding habits, and short-term goals that match a person’s life. Her work has included supporting young adults and people facing chemical dependency as they navigate life after school.

She also develops and teaches youth suicide prevention curriculum for people ages 10 to 24, and leads trainings for parents, teachers, and other professionals. That training work informs how she explains safety and coping in sessions. Brittani believes most people already have strengths they can use.

Her role is to point to those strengths and offer tools to build on them. She aims for a respectful, down-to-earth style that makes it easier to try new strategies. Parents looking for a therapist with experience around family issues and practical skill-building may find her approach direct and helpful.

She works in English and practices in Minnesota as an LICSW.

Approach and online options that fit busy families

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions rather than giving advice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns like worry, panic, or avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Brittani works with clients to pick the approach that fits their needs. She will discuss goals, try methods that feel useful, and adjust based on progress. That collaborative planning helps people see what works for them instead of forcing a single method.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make meeting easier for families and busy people. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, let short check-ins happen between sessions, and make it simpler to keep working on skills without long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to these formats so practical tools are still part of sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
