About Brianna
Brianna Wiley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience based in North Carolina. She works with adolescents and adults and lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, depression, and coping with life changes among the areas she addresses. Her additional focus includes communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia.
Brianna says goal setting is a shared task between clinician and client. She usually begins by asking a number of questions in the first session to get a clear sense of recent feelings and concerns. That initial meeting is mostly listening and information gathering so both people can make a practical plan for what comes next.
She describes her communication style as relaxed, preferring a conversational tone that helps people speak more freely. Sessions typically move at a pace the person is comfortable with, and goals are revisited as progress is made. The emphasis is on small, doable steps rather than sudden big changes.
Brianna uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She adapts techniques to fit the individual rather than forcing one way of working for everyone. The result is a straightforward, problem-focused approach that centers on identifying what to try next.
People who are struggling with social anxiety, feeling isolated, or having trouble with communication may find this practical style helpful. Brianna works with both teens and adults to clarify goals, practice new behaviors, and track change over time.
How Brianna adapts therapeutic techniques for online work
Many of the approaches Brianna mentions involve clear goals and step-by-step practice. Cognitive-style techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations, which can help with anxiety and social fears by offering concrete strategies to try. Behavioral techniques emphasize practicing specific behaviors or exposures in small steps to build confidence for social situations and everyday tasks. Evidence-based supportive skills work includes communication practice and problem-solving to reduce isolation and improve interactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Brianna will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and pace. She adjusts methods over time and reviews progress with the person to refine the plan together.
