About Briana
Briana Barbour is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. People concerned about guilt and shame are included in her focus areas and may bring that into sessions alongside other struggles.
She uses practical, goal-focused methods to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, and practicing small changes that can fit into daily life. Motivational Interviewing is used to help clarify what matters to the client and support steps they want to take.
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is part of her approach and is applied in straightforward ways, such as spotting thought patterns that fuel anxiety or shame and testing alternative perspectives. She also addresses addiction-related concerns with methods that build motivation and concrete coping skills.
Briana understands how life transitions and relationship ruptures can add to feelings of guilt or isolation. She offers steady, practical support aimed at manageable steps rather than big promises. Sessions are conducted in English and are provided from her Florida practice.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It involves listening, reflecting, and highlighting the client’s own goals to build momentum for small steps forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try different perspectives, and practice manageable behavior changes that address anxiety, shame, or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may lead to focusing more on motivation at first or switching to CBT exercises, depending on progress and priorities.
