Background and approach

Sessions blend talking with hands-on tools so clients leave with things they can try between meetings. Her work pays attention to how relationships and family stress affect daily life. She supports people dealing with communication problems, jealousy, forgiveness, and feeling isolated.

Briana also helps those exploring life purpose and young adult concerns. Her approach draws from methods that focus on thoughts, values, and present-moment awareness. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused work to build clearer goals and workable skills.

Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness methods are also part of her toolbox when they fit a person’s needs. Briana holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in California. She has four years of clinical experience helping people make steady changes.

Sessions are offered in English and available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to her practice.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It works well for anxiety, depression, and social fears.

Briana treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. If something does not feel helpful, she adjusts the plan so work in sessions leads to real changes between meetings.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you use visual connection and teach hands-on strategies. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit during a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or step-by-step support over time. These options help people access care around work, family, or other commitments without traveling.
