Briana Henry, LMFT

Briana Henry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who centers her work on short-term, goal-focused therapy. She draws on two decades of experience to help people address clear, practical problems. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on tools that can be used between sessions.

She commonly helps with anxiety and stress, depression, and challenges tied to life transitions. Parenting concerns and postpartum adjustment are also areas she addresses, along with workplace stress and issues that affect mood and self-esteem. Briana also supports people dealing with panic, isolation, caregiver strain, and money or career worries.

Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow the person’s own priorities and DBT skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear goals and steps for change.

Briana has worked with telehealth for several years and favors brief, focused work that produces usable strategies. She often pairs practical coping skills with goal-setting so progress can be tracked. This is a good fit for people who want targeted help within a shorter timeframe.

People who choose her for therapy typically want clear tools and a collaborative plan. Briana aims to offer a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can test new ways of coping and get practical feedback.

Online approaches that focus on change and skills

CBT helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical experiments to test new ways of coping; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s priorities so sessions reflect what matters most in their life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist set clear, measurable steps so progress can be seen and reviewed together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share updates, work through brief concerns, or follow up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use techniques in real time.
