About Brianna
Brianna Sheridan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career strain, parenting pressures, grief, and anger. Her style treats the client as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
She focuses on practical steps people can use when feeling overwhelmed or reactive. Sessions include talking through specific situations, noticing patterns that lead to anger or avoidance, and testing small changes to see what helps. She uses straightforward methods rather than abstract theory so people can apply what they learn between meetings.
Brianna draws from several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that escalate stress or anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking action even when emotions are uncomfortable. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities and strengths.
She also brings tools from existential work and relationship-focused methods like the Gottman Method when relevant. These approaches are used to improve communication, handle resentment, and rebuild trust after repeated conflict. Her aim is to help people get clearer about what they want to change and to practice concrete ways of doing that.
People who choose to work with her are often looking for practical change rather than labels. She encourages small experiments in everyday life and reviews what works. The first sessions typically focus on immediate concerns and realistic next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Brianna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address anger and related problems. CBT looks at how thoughts and actions keep cycles of stress and irritability going, and it offers small behavioral experiments to try. ACT focuses on identifying what matters most and taking steps toward those values even when strong emotions are present.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the client’s priorities and strengths. That means the therapist and client decide together which methods to try and adjust them based on what feels useful. Figuring out the right mix of approaches is part of the early work rather than a single fixed plan.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. The therapist will help plan session length and frequency that match a client’s goals and schedule, and will discuss which methods to use so the tools translate into everyday life.
