Briana Barbour

Briana Barbour is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and major life changes, including divorce and separation. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping someone feel steadier day to day.

Briana uses short-term goal work and steady check-ins to break problems into manageable steps. She listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people try new responses. Sessions emphasize clear tools you can use between meetings, such as tracking thoughts, testing small changes, and building motivation.

With five years of clinical experience, she applies methods that support recovery and behavior change while addressing emotional pain. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns affect relationships and daily choices. Briana also works with people facing substance use and co-occurring issues, helping them sort priorities and set realistic goals.

The work often blends practical coping skills with conversations about meaning, guilt, and forgiveness. She will help you identify next steps, whether that means reducing symptoms, changing habits, or making decisions about relationships. Sessions are conducted in English and are organized around the goals you bring to therapy.

To begin, you would use the site matching process and schedule a session based on the therapist's availability. Briana aims to make the process clear and manageable for people taking this step.

How Briana’s approaches work in online therapy

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflection to build commitment and reduce resistance, which can be useful for addiction, behavior change, and readiness for difficult decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to change thinking and behavior over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, habits, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and keep steady momentum between meetings. Some people find shorter, focused check-ins helpful on busy days, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. Ask about the available session options when you schedule so you can match the format to your needs.
