About Brianna

Brianna Gaines is a licensed social worker who uses a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

As an LCSW with three years of clinical practice, she blends practical strategies and emotional support to address concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her approach emphasizes building on strengths while offering concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She adapts evidence-based methods to each person’s needs, drawing on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-informed work. Sessions focus on identifying values, developing coping skills, addressing communication and intimacy challenges, and reducing shame or self-criticism.

Brianna aims to provide steady, empathetic guidance and resources that promote resilience and meaningful change in clients' lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for people coping with anxiety, stress, life changes, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then tailor interventions from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or other methods to match what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to adjust strategies and ensure the work aligns with evolving needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, revisit skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care across locations. Licensed professionals provide the same therapeutic techniques used in face-to-face care while allowing clients to connect in the format that best supports their daily life.
