About Briana
Briana Henry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She focuses on short-term, goal-oriented work that helps people address clear, pressing concerns. Many people contact her for help with stress and anxiety, life changes, relationship strain, or postpartum adjustments.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Clients often work on skills for managing panic, improving mood, or coping with workplace and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Briana keeps sessions focused on immediate goals while also looking at patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulty. Her background spans two decades in mental health and includes years of telehealth practice. That experience shaped a style that is direct and collaborative.
She helps people identify realistic steps they can try between sessions. Briana draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear goals and track progress. Sessions are available through multiple online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and messaging. She often works with clients who prefer brief, targeted therapy or who need tools to manage a specific crisis or transition.
Online approaches that target anxiety and life transitions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and steering the pace of work to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction; phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other demands.
