How Briana works
Briana listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small, doable goals between meetings. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example, helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Briana also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify what already works and build on those strengths.
Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck and needs to find motivation to change. People come for help with communication problems, jealousy, isolation, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose or self-love. Briana supports those navigating young adult issues and social anxiety with practical strategies.
Her style aims to be warm, direct, and collaborative so clients leave sessions with clear next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for life transitions, stress, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill-based, with exercises you can use between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress, which can help with anxiety and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Briana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth; live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or do shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life and keep progress going even when schedules are tight.
