About Brianna

Brianna Kegelman is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, identity and LGBT issues, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, career questions, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also works with areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, communication problems, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and questions around non-monogamous relationships. With five years of clinical experience, she offers practical tools and a client-centered approach that aims to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her style blends structured, evidence-informed techniques with thoughtful, values-based conversation. Brianna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside existential reflection and motivational interviewing to help clients clarify goals, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build manageable habits.

She emphasizes progress over perfection and aims to create an accepting, compassionate space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and purpose. Prospective clients are invited to begin the matching process and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

CBT and Collaborative Approaches for Online Care

Two of the main approaches Brianna uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational, client-centered approach that explores readiness for change and helps people find internal motivation to pursue goals such as behavior shifts or improved relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and she treats that as a collaborative process. She will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and life context to decide whether structured CBT techniques, motivational strategies, or a solution-focused emphasis best fits the situation. Clients and therapist adjust methods together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible and help maintain continuity when life is busy. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular, accessible care from different locations while tailoring session frequency and communication style to each person’s needs.
