About Brianna
Brianna Sheridan is a California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with seven years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, career struggles, and big life changes. Brianna emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation in early sessions so people know what to expect.
She approaches work believing each person knows their story best. That means sessions focus on the client’s goals and strengths while trying out small changes that feel doable. Conversations cover thinking patterns, values, and everyday habits that affect mood and motivation.
Brianna draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. She also uses client-centered and existential ideas to support people exploring life purpose, identity, and meaning. For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method alongside other tools to address communication and connection problems.
Her background includes supporting people with grief, caregiver stress, multicultural and immigration-related issues, and the practical fallout from financial or work pressures. She also works with people facing post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, and challenges tied to family of origin.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Brianna helps clients try new strategies, notice what works, and adjust plans over time. She invites straightforward talk about what a person needs from therapy and how progress will be measured.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative conversation where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can find their own solutions. This approach helps with confidence, motivation, and making choices that fit a person’s goals.
Brianna treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She works with each person to pick methods that match their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as sessions progress. That makes it easier to try different strategies and notice what actually helps.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking since session delivery options were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier, let people fit sessions into work or family time, and allow shorter check-ins or phone-based appointments when video is difficult. The therapist will discuss what works best for timing, length, and style at the first meeting.
