About Brianna
Brianna Sheridan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California who works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, and life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can begin to sort out what matters and find practical next steps.
Background and approach
Brianna treats mood and panic symptoms, grief, anger, and caregiver strain, and she also helps people manage ADHD-related challenges and motivation blocks. Her approach centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths.
She uses straightforward strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act with purpose even when feelings are hard.
Brianna incorporates client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work personal and meaningful. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and what feels achievable week to week.
Practical tools are paired with real talk about emotions and life context. She has seven years of professional experience across community and clinical settings in California.
That background gives her familiarity with multicultural concerns, family of origin issues, immigration stress, and trauma-related reactions. Brianna works in English and supports people dealing with career decisions, money stress, and midlife questions.
Starting therapy with her involves small, clear steps. She partners with clients to set goals, try skills between sessions, and adjust the plan as life shifts.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict by teaching specific interaction skills and strengthening the way people connect; it can help with recurring relationship patterns and communication problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thinking and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting techniques over time if something isn’t working. Sessions are driven by what you want to change and what feels manageable week to week.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and skill coaching, phone sessions can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging makes it easier to share updates between sessions. These options help make counseling more accessible while keeping the focus on clear goals and usable skills.
