About Bri-Anna

Bri-Anna Bostic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, and ADHD. Bri-Anna also notes additional focus areas such as body image, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and life purpose.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, helping people clarify what matters to them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are unsure about making changes and need help finding personal reasons to move forward.

Bri-Anna’s background includes work in schools and community settings where she supported people through difficult moments and major changes. In sessions she focuses on practical skills for coping, communication, and managing stress. Conversations tend to be down-to-earth and focused on next steps rather than abstract theory.

People who feel stuck after a life change or who are weighing what comes next often find her approach practical. She helps clients talk through decisions, practice new ways of responding, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Her work includes attention to issues connected to identity, discrimination, and the effects of past sexual assault and abuse.

How Bri-Anna uses proven approaches in online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters and decide next steps. It helps when someone needs a clear, nonjudgmental conversation to sort through options and feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is practical for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence about change. It helps people find their own reasons to try a new behavior or stick with a plan, which can be useful for life changes and goal setting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bri-Anna will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which methods to prioritize and adjust those methods over time as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and motivational techniques to work well in virtual sessions while focusing on practical steps clients can use between appointments.
