About Briana
Briana Barbour is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and life transitions. She works in a straightforward way that focuses on goals and practical steps. Conversations are aimed at uncovering patterns and building tools that fit everyday life.
Briana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. She uses simple exercises and questions to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include concrete strategies clients can try between meetings to test what works.
With about five years of experience, she has supported people facing a range of concerns including panic disorder and panic attacks, substance use challenges, grief around separation, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, body image, and feelings of isolation.
The approach is collaborative and practical. Clients set small, measurable goals and Briana helps break those goals into doable steps. She focuses on building skills that make daily life more manageable and less overwhelming.
To begin, readers are encouraged to consider what they most want to change and how it affects day-to-day functioning. That helps shape an initial plan and keeps sessions focused on usable outcomes rather than theory.
How Briana’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more helpful ones. It often uses short exercises and tracking between sessions to test what changes help reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or making life changes in small, manageable ways.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Briana treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them based on what helps.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let people use brief check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It also allows continuity of care when life circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical tools and measurable steps rather than lengthy theory.
