About Briana
Briana Cunningham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas. She has 20 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, and depression. She also supports people coping with trauma, relationship strain, grief, and challenges like addiction and ADHD.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful. She creates a calm atmosphere where people can talk through what feels hard. She emphasizes compassion and empathy while focusing on practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Briana combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with other practical interventions. She also uses ideas from general systems theory to look at how relationships and roles affect stress and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people facing ambivalence about change.
In sessions she breaks concerns into clear, manageable parts. Together a person and she identify specific goals and try concrete strategies for daily life. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and helps people test new ways of coping.
Her approach suits people who want therapy that is direct and collaborative. She welcomes questions about how therapy works and what to expect. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she encourages doing it at a comfortable pace.
How Briana’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people resolve uncertainty about change and strengthen their own reasons for taking steps forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Briana will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor techniques from CBT and Motivational Interviewing as needed. She aims to make decisions together so the plan fits daily life and the issues someone brings to sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or busy schedules. Video calls let therapists and clients see nonverbal cues and do deeper check-ins. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or a way to share thoughts without a scheduled call. These options make it easier to fit consistent work on anxiety, coping skills, and goal progress into a real life routine.
