About Briana

She sees people managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues. She also addresses specific situations like postpartum depression and workplace problems.
Briana uses practical methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions look at what is getting in the way day to day and test small behavior changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas to make sense of patterns in relationships and mood.
People come to her to improve communication, work through divorce or infidelity, and handle challenges related to addiction or self-harm. She supports exploration of forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love as part of moving forward. She has focused work with women's health concerns, including pregnancy and childbirth, and with issues men and veterans may face.
Her meetings are collaborative and practical. She listens for patterns, helps set clear short-term goals, and suggests simple skills to try between sessions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they help clarify values and increase motivation.
Briana asks clients to choose concrete goals and to experiment with small changes. Sessions tend to be structured and focused on solving current problems while also addressing how past relationships shape present behavior. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into clear steps to practice between sessions.Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect how people relate now. This approach helps with communication problems, relationship strain, and issues that recur across different partnerships.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting to help someone clarify values and choices. It is often paired with motivational interviewing to boost commitment to change in areas like substance use or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively to choose which approaches to try based on the person's goals, preferences, and the concerns they bring. This helps keep sessions focused and practical.
