About Brianna

Brianna Brown is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia who focuses on practical, solution-oriented therapy for families and parenting concerns. She brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and big life changes. Her style is down-to-earth and educational, with clear steps clients can use between appointments.

Brianna uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions are tailored to what each person or family needs that week. She often works with issues that come from family dynamics, attachment wounds, and patterns like codependency or communication problems.

Parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and problems with intimacy or trust are also central areas of focus. Brianna mixes problem-solving with skills practice so families can try different approaches at home. Her approach aims to boost self-esteem and empower clients to make meaningful changes.

She emphasizes free will, respect for spiritual diversity, and compassionate care. Expect practical exercises, clear feedback, and collaboration on short- and long-term goals. Sessions can include coaching elements when helpful, and she incorporates mindfulness and narrative ideas to support lasting change.

Brianna encourages parents and family members to try small experiments between sessions and to bring real-life situations into therapy for hands-on learning.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that follow. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors because it teaches practical skills to interrupt negative cycles.

DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. It offers concrete strategies to manage strong emotions and improve communication during conflict or high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person or family to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skills from CBT, adding DBT tools, or using elements from emotionally-focused work depending on what emerges in early sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to practice skills between appointments. Video and phone let therapists observe tone and interaction, while chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins and coaching-style support. The variety of formats aims to increase flexibility and help families use therapy in ways that fit their everyday lives.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
