About Bri-Anna
Bri-Anna Bostic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, and ADHD. Bri-Anna works with teens and young adults facing these challenges and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions emphasize learning coping skills, breaking down problems into steps, and practicing small changes between meetings. The therapist keeps language direct and concrete so clients can apply tools quickly.
Her background includes work in school and community settings where she supported people through tough moments and major transitions. That experience informs how she structures sessions for people balancing school, work, and life changes. Meetings often focus on immediate problems and next steps rather than long theoretical discussions.
In practical terms she helps clients develop clearer routines, improve communication skills, and build strategies for managing worry and low mood. For issues like body image, guilt, or workplace stress she breaks concerns into manageable pieces and tests small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.
Bri-Anna asks new clients to complete an initial questionnaire so sessions can begin with clear priorities. She encourages short-term skill building alongside open conversation about longer concerns. The approach is focused on what can be changed now and how to practice different ways of responding.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Clients should expect practical, skills-focused work informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it emphasizes small, testable changes.Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build motivation to act. It uses questions and reflection to set reachable goals and resolve mixed feelings about change. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening stance that keeps the client’s goals central while exploring options for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as needs evolve. This is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel to an office. These practical benefits help therapy integrate into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
