About Brianna

Brianna Sheridan is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, career frustration, and life transitions. Brianna emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions and straightforward conversations during meetings.

She frames clients as experts on their own lives and highlights their existing strengths. Sessions focus on identifying what gets in the way of goals and testing small changes to daily habits and thinking. That can mean practicing new ways to respond in tense moments, revisiting values, or trying short behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity.

Brianna’s counseling draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work. She uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, commit to chosen values, and practice different behaviors. For relationship concerns she integrates tools from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeated conflict patterns.

In practical terms she often mixes short skill-building exercises with open conversation. Expect direct feedback, suggested practices to try between sessions, and a focus on what is useful right now. Her style aims to be clear and goal-oriented without heavy jargon.

People who come for help with anger often want better ways to respond in the moment and to lower the resentment that builds over time. Brianna works with those goals by helping clients name triggers, test new responses, and strengthen long-term coping strategies.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for managing anger that is tied to avoidance or stubborn patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s perspective guides what to work on and which steps to try.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where stresses arise, which can make exercises more practical and easier to apply between sessions.
