Background and approach
That work included supporting people in medication-assisted addiction programs and helping youth who were at risk of being removed from their homes. Briana pays attention to how relationships and family patterns affect current struggles. She uses reality therapy and experiential methods to help people practice new behaviors during sessions.
Those techniques focus on clear choices, workable skills, and noticing what actually changes when different actions are tried. Her experience includes addressing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family issues, postpartum depression, ADHD, and disruptive mood concerns such as DMDD. She also helps people facing prejudice or LGBTQ-related stress and intimacy or career worries.
Outside of work she lives in Louisiana with her spouse, two children, and two dogs. She volunteers with her church media team and brings a service-oriented approach to her clinical work. Briana aims to help people make concrete changes that fit their everyday lives.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Reality therapy focuses on present choices and concrete actions. It helps people identify what they want to change, set realistic goals, and practice different behaviors to see what works. This approach can be useful for relationship problems, parenting challenges, and managing addictive behaviors.Experiential methods invite people to try new ways of relating during sessions. That may include role play, behavioral experiments, or structured activities that reveal how patterns repeat in relationships. Those techniques help when clients want to test alternatives and learn from direct experience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, daily routines, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what the client finds helpful and what leads to real change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth days or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. Together these options help fit therapy into work, family, and life schedules.
