About Briana
Briana Yort is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers virtual therapy for adults and young adults. She focuses on practical skills to reduce stress and manage anxiety so clients can notice real changes in daily life. Briana has five years of experience in the mental health field.
She often helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem, and mood instability. Sessions emphasize skill building and concrete steps rather than only talking about feelings.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches tools for emotion regulation and handling distress. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques when addressing trauma-related symptoms. These methods are presented in plain terms and applied to everyday situations.
Briana encourages a balanced, grounded way of working. She brings a calm, mindful tone to sessions and aims to make therapy feel usable for busy lives. Outside of her work she enjoys spending time outdoors, gardening, and being near water.
People can expect straightforward conversations and skill-focused sessions that target coping strategies. The focus is on building habits that improve functioning and reduce the impact of stress and anxiety over time.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for coping with intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors. It focuses on breath-down-to-earth strategies such as distress-tolerance exercises, emotion regulation steps, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be used between sessions.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. In practice it pairs focused attention with guided techniques to help problematic memories feel less overwhelming and to shift how those memories affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals and needs. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on how well skills are helping and what the client prefers.
Online therapy with Briana uses several formats to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and processing. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, written touchpoints to reinforce skills and track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
