About Briana
Briana Henry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She works with individuals on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, depression, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and life transitions.
She favors brief, goal-oriented work that focuses on specific, identifiable problems. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals rather than open-ended exploration. Clients who prefer focused help or have workplace-linked support such as an Employee Assistance Program often choose this style.
Briana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and solution-focused techniques. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try different responses, and practice small behavioral changes between sessions. The work is collaborative and structured, with measurable tasks to track progress.
She has provided telehealth services for several years and structures sessions to be concise and skills-based. Typical topics include managing panic or anxiety, adjusting to postpartum changes, coping with loneliness or caregiver stress, and addressing workplace or financial strain. Briana also assists with mood symptoms such as seasonal affective disorder and depression.
Practical tools, short skill practices, and focused problem solving are common in her work. New clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. This helps clarify goals so early sessions concentrate on immediate, usable strategies.
How Briana applies CBT and related approaches in telehealth
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills for anxiety, panic, mood symptoms, and workplace stress. Client-centered therapy contributes an emphasis on listening and reflecting so goals come from the client rather than the therapist. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance strategies are helpful, for example with intense reactions or recurring anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Briana will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Early sessions focus on clear aims and an agreed plan so time is used for specific skill building and measurable steps.
The original biography specifies live chat and messaging for individual therapy, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief, focused therapy into a busy week and to practice homework between contacts. They also allow shorter check-ins or message-based follow ups when a quick adjustment or technique review is needed rather than a longer session.
