01 · Who Brianna works with
Brianna lists 5 specialisms and 7 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Brianna chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Brianna's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist serving West Virginia and Maryland, I bring a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, panic disorders, PTSD, depression, insomnia, and a range of other psychosocial circumstances.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help clients develop resilience and meaningful coping strategies. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and build stronger emotional foundations.
Through evidence-based practices, I work alongside clients to develop personalized strategies for managing stress, processing difficult emotions, and cultivating greater self-understanding. Whether you're dealing with communication challenges, working through feelings of guilt and shame, or seeking support in managing life transitions, I'm committed to walking with you toward healing and personal growth.

03 · What happens next
Brianna 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 Brianna'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 Brianna at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Brianna 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 Brianna.
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 Brianna actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Brianna's - Brianna 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.
