Background and approach
Sessions often focus on setting clear goals, building daily routines, and practicing new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, grief, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns like depression and panic. Brianna also supports people dealing with relationship struggles, family-of-origin issues, guilt, shame, and multicultural or immigration-related stress.
In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and commitment-focused work, alongside client-centered conversation. She helps clients try simple experiments between sessions so progress is tangible and measurable. The process balances problem-solving with attention to personal values and meaning.
Brianna aims to make therapy manageable for busy lives. She offers options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her style is straightforward and respectful, helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and greater day-to-day functioning.
Approach and online care that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting locked into them, and then take steps that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, often using small exercises that reduce symptoms like panic or depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding so people feel heard and can access their own strengths for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and deep conversation; phone can be a simpler way to check in when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy schedules while keeping focus on practical progress.
