About Brianna

Brianna Sheridan is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career traps, and life changes. She understands that starting therapy can feel hard and often courageous. Brianna emphasizes the person in front of her as the expert in their own story and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.

Her style is practical and straightforward. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps for daily life, build confidence, and ease overwhelming feelings.

Background and approach

She uses tools that help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and stay connected to what matters to them. Brianna brings seven years of clinical experience in California. That background includes work with mood disorders, panic, grief, and the stress that comes from caregiving and multicultural challenges.

She also addresses family and parenting concerns, communication problems, and struggles around money and life purpose. Her training includes therapies that support clear goals and real-life practice. She helps clients weigh options and decide which ideas fit their situation.

The focus is on practical changes you can try between sessions. Brianna aims to make therapy a collaborative space. She listens for your priorities and adapts techniques to match your goals.

The emphasis is on steady progress, not perfect solutions.

Online approaches that fit busy lives

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed action toward those values. It can help when stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist mirrors and supports your perspectives and choices.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and may draw from these methods to create a plan that fits your needs. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques to what you find most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving duties. Remote formats also let people use short check-ins or longer conversations depending on what helps most in a given week.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
