Bri-Anna Bostic , LCSW

Bri-Anna Bostic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who uses a down-to-earth, client-centered approach. She focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and navigate life changes. She also helps with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and issues many women face.

Bri-Anna blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions are relaxed and direct, giving space to talk and also to practice useful skills. The goal is to help people feel more able to handle daily challenges and decisions.

She has five years of experience in school and community settings. That background includes supporting young adults through transitions and helping people during tough moments. This experience informs a practical, situation-focused style in sessions.

Clients can expect a conversational tone and straightforward tools such as thought tracking, small goal-setting, and coping strategies for stress and ADHD-related challenges. Bri-Anna works with concerns like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace stress as part of broader life issues.

Her work also attends to sexual assault and abuse recovery, women's issues, and prejudice-related stress. People often come to talk through relationship concerns, life purpose questions, or feelings of emptiness and find ways to move forward.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making the session feel like a safe, understanding conversation. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them, which is useful for concerns like self-esteem and life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises such as tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and manage depression.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is short-term and collaborative, often used to set small goals and build momentum for change in areas like workplace habits or health-related behaviors.

Bri-Anna will work with each person to identify which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a participant prefers no video. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, more frequent touch points. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using proven methods like CBT and Motivational Interviewing.
