About Brianna
Brianna Sheridan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, and the upheaval that comes with life changes. Brianna also supports people dealing with ADHD, grief, depression, anger, and relationship concerns.
She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and practical. Expect straightforward talk, goal setting, and real steps to try between meetings.
Brianna uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when emotions are difficult.
She also draws from client-centered principles, which prioritize listening and reflecting what matters to each person. For relationship concerns she incorporates concepts from the Gottman Method to improve communication and problem solving.
Brianna has worked across common adult concerns including parenting strain, caregiver stress, multicultural issues, immigration-related stress, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to offer clear, manageable strategies rather than abstract theory. To begin, a short intake helps match goals to the approaches she uses.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients get clearer about what matters to them and to take meaningful steps even when emotions are hard to manage. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It tends to help with panic, mood problems, and trouble managing stress.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities direct the work. This approach supports people who need space to sort values and decide next steps.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. Changes to the plan can be made together as needs shift.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so practical progress continues between sessions.
