About Breanna
Breanna Rodriguez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and self esteem. She also works with caregiver stress, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and issues around self-love.
Breanna focuses on practical, conversational therapy. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to center on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing small changes that feel doable.
She uses several common approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered methods, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people spot patterns in thinking, try new ways of responding, and track what actually helps between meetings.
Breanna describes the first step as gathering what matters most to a person and setting small, concrete goals. She keeps work straightforward - identifying a problem, testing a change, and reviewing how it went. This makes therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
Her background in social work informs a practical focus on real-life challenges like caregiving strain and the transitions that come with pregnancy and postpartum. People who want clear steps and regular check-ins about what is or isn’t working may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Breanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions often include short exercises and practical homework to test new responses to common problems like anxiety or low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following what the person says matters most. This approach helps clarify goals and keep sessions grounded in the person’s priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and work with strong feelings that affect relationships and communication.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Breanna will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches make sense based on goals and preferences, and she reviews how techniques are working as therapy progresses.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving, work, and appointments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that is more practical and reduce travel time, making regular follow-up simpler to maintain.
