About Brianna

Brianna Stallings is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional struggles. She offers calm, practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family problems. Brianna works to create a welcoming space where parents and caregivers can talk through everyday pressures and harder events without feeling judged.

She draws on five years of clinical experience in Florida and a background in counseling and psychology from the University of Central Florida.

Background and approach

Brianna uses straightforward methods to address panic, phobias, trauma, and trouble sleeping. She frames sessions around what a person needs right now and adapts tools as progress is made. Her style blends client-centered listening with skills-based work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused techniques are common parts of her sessions. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, which some people use for processing traumatic memories. In practical terms Brianna helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and build clearer communication within families.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues. The aim is steady, understandable change rather than quick fixes. People who work with her describe focusing on small, usable steps at home.

Brianna values collaboration and helps people set realistic goals for parenting, career stress, and daily life. She encourages questions and takes time to explain each approach as therapy proceeds.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify goals so parents and caregivers feel heard and guided. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep challenges and can be practiced through exercises and homework between virtual meetings.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories. When offered online it involves step-by-step guidance and paced processing tailored to each person. Brianna draws on these methods while working together to find which fits best for the client's needs and comfort level.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews goals and preferences, suggests options, and adjusts plans as progress is tracked. Clients are invited to ask questions and to try approaches at a manageable pace so changes feel useful and realistic.

Online therapy gives flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats help people balance appointments with family and work, allow easier access from home, and provide different ways to communicate based on what feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver focused, goal-oriented care without requiring travel.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
