About Brianna

Brianna Kegelman is a licensed mental health counselor who helps parents and families manage stress, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She works with people facing anxiety, self-esteem struggles, anger, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Brianna also supports clients navigating LGBT matters, compassion fatigue, career questions, and a range of interpersonal problems.

Her style is straightforward and accepting. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. Brianna aims for steady progress rather than perfection and offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence during hard moments.

Background and approach

Brianna uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients name unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also leans on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and build small changes that add up. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

She has five years of counseling experience and holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, FL LMHC MH21850. That background informs how she balances practical skill-building with emotional support. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each family’s needs.

Parents who choose her can expect a mix of problem-solving and supportive talk. Brianna listens for what matters most to a family, then helps create steps to move forward. If a particular approach doesn’t fit, she discusses alternatives or other resources.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people identify patterns of thought that get in the way and replace them with more helpful habits. It is useful for anxiety, mood worries, parenting stress, and everyday problems that respond to clear strategies. Solution-focused therapy centers on specific goals and small steps. It is often used to make practical changes quickly, such as improving communication or managing behavioral challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brianna works with each person or family to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made and checks in to keep treatment aligned with changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into child schedules or work breaks. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing family responsibilities and day-to-day life.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
