About Briana
Briana Talarico is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 14 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma. She is also experienced supporting LGBTQ+ people and those exploring gender and sexuality.
She focuses on practical communication work and attachment-related patterns. That includes codependency, commitment concerns, and problems that come up in blended families or after separation. She also helps with body image, guilt, shame, and the longer-term effects of abandonment and family-of-origin issues.
Briana often supports people who grew up in adoption or foster care and those wrestling with attachment and identity questions. She will listen for how early family experiences shape current relationships and coping habits. Sessions address patterns rather than only symptoms.
Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She pays attention to how identity and culture affect relationships and stress. Young adults juggling school, first jobs, money, and relationships are explicitly noted among the people she helps.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how relationships and early experiences shape current behavior. For example, attachment-informed work looks at how early bonds affect trust and intimacy today and helps people shift patterns that cause distance or clinginess. Trauma-informed approaches focus on stabilizing reactions and building coping skills so difficult memories have less impact on day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That may mean emphasizing communication skills, addressing avoidance, or spending time on emotional regulation techniques.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, shifts, and commuting by removing travel time. Phone or video sessions can also suit someone who needs a shorter check-in or prefers not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for use between meetings so progress carries into everyday life.
