Background and approach

Briana blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational interviewing and systems-informed thinking. That means she helps people notice patterns, try different behaviors, and build habits that reduce distress. She pairs thought-focused tools with conversations that build motivation to change.

In a typical session she and the client will identify immediate concerns, try a technique, and plan one or two tasks to practice between meetings. Progress is tracked in simple ways so changes are visible and adjustable. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.

Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps toward recovery or healthier habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then choose methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is seen.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let you have a full face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, homework review, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
