About Brianna

Brianna Sheridan is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and changes that feel overwhelming. Brianna aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets people with straightforward, respectful care.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths to therapy. Sessions often begin by clarifying goals and identifying what’s getting in the way. Brianna uses practical tools to reduce distress and build confidence so everyday life feels more doable.

Her work draws on several approaches to match different needs. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to notice difficult thoughts and take action toward valued goals. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, keeping the person's experience central.

Over seven years she has supported people with grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, career transitions, ADHD, and mood concerns. She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and traumatic stress when they affect daily functioning. Brianna takes a collaborative stance and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.

People who book with her can expect clear, practical steps and time to process feelings. She helps clients practice new behaviors and track small changes. This approach keeps therapy focused on what matters to the person seeking support.

How therapy approaches work for online sessions

Brianna often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, which means the therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathic listening, and adapts the pace to fit individual needs. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the platform or listing to confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches and session patterns that fit their goals, schedule, and preferences.
