About Briana
Briana Barbour is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Briana focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and daily demands.
Her sessions typically include setting clear goals and looking at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior experiments. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change and helps clarify personal reasons for moving forward.
Briana pays attention to areas that often come up with these concerns, such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, guilt and shame, and communication problems. She also works with people affected by substance use, first responder stress, veteran issues, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and panic symptoms.
Sessions focus on concrete strategies - planning steps, practicing new responses, and reviewing what worked. She encourages people to bring current examples from daily life so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Work with Briana is offered in English and is provided within Florida. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provided online options.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work in online sessions
CBT is a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online work with CBT often means naming unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and tracking what changes over time. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying a person’s reasons for change and resolving mixed feelings. In remote sessions it means the therapist asks focused questions, reflects back priorities, and helps build motivation for next steps, which can be useful for addiction recovery and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and preferences, and adjust them as needed. That collaborative process includes trying ideas, checking what helps, and shifting course if something isn’t working.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows continued contact with a licensed professional from different locations, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure appointments to suit everyday life.
