About Briana
LMHC (Florida), 5 years experience. Briana Barbour helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She uses practical methods to identify problems and try workable steps forward.
Briana offers a straightforward, skills-focused approach. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to map patterns and test small changes. Sessions involve talking through current struggles, setting clear goals, and practicing concrete tools between meetings.
She commonly addresses issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, substance use, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. Briana also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, guilt, and isolation. Her work includes helping first responders and veterans manage job-related stress and trauma.
In session she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, try behavioral experiments, and strengthen motivation for change. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, with clear next steps after each appointment. Short-term problem solving and longer-term symptom work are both options she uses.
Clients start by clarifying current problems and goals. Over time she adjusts strategies based on what works and what doesn’t. Briana works in English and practices in Florida, where she is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).

How her approaches work in online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thinking, testing it with simple experiments, and building new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression because it gives specific steps to try.Motivational Interviewing centers on a person’s own reasons for change. The therapist asks questions that explore ambivalence, highlight personal goals, and strengthen motivation. This approach is commonly used when addressing substance use and readiness for change.
Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that seem likely to help. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you need to arrange shorter check-ins or sessions that better fit a work break, mention that when you book. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Motivational Interviewing to remote sessions in ways that focus on real-life practice and follow-up between appointments.
