About Brianna

Brianna Sheridan is a California-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries, and life transitions. Brianna believes clients know their own stories and brings a supportive presence to help them move forward.

She focuses on practical skills that fit into daily life. That can mean building confidence, managing overwhelming days, or finding clearer direction at work. She also addresses mood concerns such as depression, panic, and grief, plus challenges like caregiver strain and compassion fatigue.

Brianna draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and act on them. Cognitive behavioral techniques can help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting what matters to the client.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Brianna helps clients set small, doable steps and checks progress along the way. She treats money and financial issues as one of many life areas that affect well-being.

People who choose Brianna usually want a calm, practical therapist who listens closely. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin trying new ways to cope and make decisions.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Brianna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people name what matters to them and take actions that match their values even when emotions are strong. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and routines to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in what the client says matters. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and reflecting the client’s experience. Together these methods can address stress, career decisions, mood concerns, and money or financial worries in a practical way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brianna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together what techniques fit best.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week.
