About Brianna

Brianna Sheridan is a California-licensed LPCC with seven years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches each client with the assumption that they bring knowledge of their own story and strengths, and she partners with them to build practical skills and insight that fit their priorities.

Her work integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered principles to address mood concerns, grief, relationship and family challenges, ADHD, and coping with crises. She also attends to areas like communication difficulties, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, and post-traumatic stress, tailoring interventions to the issues a person brings into sessions.

Brianna aims to make beginning therapy approachable and collaborative, helping clients set realistic goals and try strategies that can reduce distress and increase functioning. She frames the therapeutic relationship as a shared process, offering guidance while respecting each person’s values and lived experience.

How Brianna’s Approaches Translate to Online Care



Brianna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often practical for managing anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for grief, life transitions, and motivation issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow licensed professionals to deliver coaching, skills training, and reflective therapy across different settings and routines.
