About Brianna
Brianna Sheridan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Brianna aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming for anyone feeling stuck or unsure.
She views each person as the expert on their life and listens for strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Conversations often include ways to increase motivation, boost self-esteem, and handle career or life changes.
Background and approach
Brianna uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean learning new ways to change unhelpful thoughts, practicing actions that align with personal values, or simply creating space to reflect on hard choices. She works with everyday problems like parenting stress, grief, anger, and relationship difficulties.
Over seven years of work in California settings have exposed her to many challenges people bring into therapy. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to individual concerns such as panic attacks, mood problems, or burnout. Brianna also addresses topics like caregiving strain, immigration-related stress, and multicultural issues.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans as life changes. Brianna respects the courage it takes to reach out and partners with clients to move toward clearer goals.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding clearer purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood. It works well when people want concrete tools and homework to practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting connection so clients feel heard and understood during hard moments.Brianna treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with you about goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. The aim is to create a working style that fits your needs, whether that means skill-building, values work, or steady reflective conversation.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face-to-face when that helps; phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited; messaging is useful for quick check-ins or when you need brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
