Brianna Stallings , LMHC

Brianna Stallings is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on women's issues and related life challenges. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, and relationship or family concerns. Brianna takes a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make beginning therapy feel less overwhelming.

She has five years of clinical experience and holds a Master’s in Counselor Education, Mental Health, plus a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. That background informs practical strategies she shares in sessions.

Brianna adjusts therapy to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with emotional regulation and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

For clients who have past trauma or are struggling after assault or abuse, she uses trauma-focused interventions and EMDR principles as part of an overall plan. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms like panic, phobias, sleep problems, and low self-esteem while strengthening coping and communication.

She offers care by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Brianna encourages questions and a gradual start to therapy so people can feel comfortable before digging into hard topics.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people identify what matters most in therapy. This approach is often useful for improving self-esteem, communication, and decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, panic, or insomnia. CBT is often paired with short homework tasks between sessions to reinforce progress.

EMDR and trauma-focused therapy address the effects of traumatic events and overwhelming memories. These methods help reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms such as flashbacks, panic attacks, and persistent distress after sexual assault or abuse, using structured steps to process difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs and adapt techniques as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and how to pace the work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular care around work, family, and daily life.
