About Brianna
Brianna Gaines is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Oklahoma with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her approach is client-centered and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Brianna pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and building self-love. She mixes talk work with exercises you can practice outside sessions. She also incorporates motivational interviewing techniques when people are weighing changes like addressing substance use or career moves.
In sessions she aims to identify strengths and to break problems into manageable steps. That can mean practicing coping strategies for anxiety, mapping steps to repair a relationship, or planning routines to support mood stability. She offers coaching-style support for practical life changes as well.
People who choose her often want straightforward help they can apply between meetings. The focus is on usable tools, steady progress, and measurable steps forward rather than lengthy theory discussions.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action. Online sessions using ACT often focus on clarifying what matters to you and practicing small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention training and simple grounding practices into session work to help manage stress and increase emotional awareness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps you progress and what feels useful in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for different check-in styles such as shorter focused sessions when needed. Many people find online sessions help them practice skills in their everyday context and bring real-life examples into conversation.
