About Briana
Briana Talarico is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, and trauma. She also supports LGBTQ+ people and those exploring gender identity and sexuality.
Briana focuses on practical work around communication patterns and attachment issues. She helps people untangle codependency and commitment concerns. She also addresses body image, shame, and the effects of abandonment or early family experiences.
She has experience supporting people who grew up in foster care or were adopted. She also sees clients dealing with divorce, blended family dynamics, and the pressures of modern relationships. Work-related stress, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation are part of her caseload as well.
Briana describes her style as collaborative and evidence-based. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and addressing painful emotions that get in the way of daily life. She works with people to set small, concrete goals and to try different skills between sessions.
In sessions she attends to sexual and gender diversity and to alternative relationship practices without judgment. People who want help with attachment, communication, or trauma-related issues will find a therapist who combines relational focus with practical interventions.
Approaches that shape online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques mentioned in the profile point to work that targets relationships, attachment, and trauma. Relational approaches focus on how patterns between people form and repeat, helping clients notice triggers and try new ways of talking and connecting. Trauma-informed methods concentrate on understanding past hurt and reducing its impact on current life, often by pacing work and teaching grounding or emotion regulation skills.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting the plan as skills are practiced, and making space for both emotional processing and practical skill-building.
Practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting appointments into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins during life transitions or work stress. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which online options are offered before booking so the format matches your needs and schedule.
