About Brianna
Brianna Yates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with three years of clinical experience. She has a background as a medical social worker and in domestic violence services, and she helps people facing health-related stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, and changes in life and relationships.
She draws on practical methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on concrete steps they can take between meetings. Brianna also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities.
Her work with people who have chronic health conditions involved coordinating care and helping clients adjust to new medical challenges. At a local domestic violence agency she provided therapy and education to adults and children, which informs how she approaches trauma and safety topics.
Clients can expect clear conversations about goals, small actionable strategies, and guided practice of new skills. She includes motivational interviewing to support readiness and commitment when people are deciding on next steps.
Outside of work she is from the north side Chicago suburbs, is the oldest of four sisters, and has an identical twin. She spends free time trying recipes, walking, and watching shows. To begin work with her, prospective clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps.
BHow sessions work
How Brianna uses approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens, asks questions, and follows the client’s lead to work on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and improve emotional connection in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brianna will review what you want to accomplish and suggest methods that match your goals and preferences. She will collaborate on what techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Other practical benefits include staying consistent with appointments when life is busy and using mindfulness or CBT exercises between sessions to practice new skills.
