Briana Barbour

Briana Barbour is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Briana aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

Briana uses a blend of approaches to identify patterns that get in the way of daily life. She helps clients set small goals, notice unhelpful thoughts, and try different coping skills to see what works. Sessions are centered on collaboration and real-world problem solving.

With five years of experience in Florida, Briana has worked with people dealing with substance use concerns, panic and post-traumatic stress, and the emotional aftermath of loss or relationship change. She also helps clients who struggle with body image, guilt and shame, isolation, or issues tied to abandonment and attachment.

In sessions she pays attention to how behaviors and thoughts interact. That makes it easier to test new habits and adjust plans as progress happens. She places emphasis on motivation and practical techniques rather than long lectures.

Briana encourages people to bring what matters most into the room - current struggles, goals, and what has been tried before. If you want straightforward support for eating and food-related concerns alongside anxiety or addictive patterns, she can help you talk through next steps and build workable strategies.

How Briana’s approaches fit into online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors interact. It focuses on small experiments and skills that reduce anxiety, panic, and patterns that fuel depressive or eating-related problems. Motivational Interviewing centers on the client's readiness to change and helps clarify personal reasons for taking steps toward recovery or healthier choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as progress or new concerns arise, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, and making scheduling more flexible around work or family routines. It can also let people try different session lengths or brief goal-focused meetings to keep momentum between longer visits.
