About Briana
Briana Henry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, depression, anger, self-esteem, and career matters. Sessions are presented in straightforward, goal-focused terms that fit real life.
She favors brief, practical therapy aimed at clear goals. That often means identifying one or two problems to address and using direct tools to change unhelpful patterns. People come for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, for anxiety that won’t let them rest, and for parenting stress that wears them down.
Her approach draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means listening to what matters most to the person, then trying things that change thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to build emotion skills and solution-focused techniques to set quick, usable steps.
Briana has years of experience providing telehealth services. Her practice is set up for brief, goal-oriented work and for people who want tangible strategies. She notes this format often works well for those using an Employee Assistance Program or people looking for short-term support.
Intake starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions are offered in English and operate on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used in online sessions
Clients can expect work grounded in client-centered care and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on what matters to the person, with the therapist listening and reflecting so goals come from the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them.Dialectical behavior therapy skills are also used to manage intense emotions and improve coping. DBT-based techniques help people notice feelings, tolerate distress, and act in line with their values rather than reacting. Together these approaches target issues like anger, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on short-term, solution-focused steps first, then layering in skills-based practice as needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist's practice. The existing practice has offered telehealth services and is designed for brief, goal-oriented support that can fit into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, use short messaging check-ins, or keep regular appointments without travel, depending on the formats offered. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and tools to everyday schedules.
