01 · Who Briana works with
Briana lists 15 specialisms and 8 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Briana chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Briana's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana. I received my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Loyola University of New Orleans.
I have worked with individuals, families, and couples in different contexts of their lives. She has experience working with recovering addicts through a medication-assisted program, families with youth at risk of being put out of their homes, and youth in a juvenile facility. With these experiences, I have dealt with diagnoses such as substance use disorders, ADHD, ODD, DMDD, and MDD. I have a passion for systems and believes that my clients have the power to create the change in the system they deem problematic. I utilize reality and experiential therapy with my clients, ensuring the implementation of techniques and skills that they can relate to and use during their change and growth.
I am a Baton Rouge native married to my college sweetheart. They have two children and two dogs together. During my spare time, I volunteers at her church with the media team. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and impacting the lives of others through empathy and support. I believe that helping goes beyond my profession and make it my mission to be the change I want to see in the world through service to others in need.

03 · What happens next
Briana practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Briana's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Briana at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Briana is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Briana.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Briana actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Briana's - Briana has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
