About Briana

Briana Lyon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship troubles, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. Her stated focus includes life purpose, communication problems, and issues that arise after separation or divorce.

Briana uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She emphasizes practical conversation and goal-focused steps. Sessions often include checking patterns, weighing choices, and trying small changes between meetings.

She lists Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing among her approaches. That mix is used to look at how relationships shape feelings, to center the client’s priorities, and to test new thinking and behaviors in daily life.

Briana says she helps people work on self-love, forgiveness, and communication after infidelity or separation. She also supports those facing postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and workplace stress. She has experience with substance misuse and with veterans and armed forces issues.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in New York. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How Briana uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships affect current feelings and behavior. It can help people who feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns or who want clearer boundaries with others.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead and supports practical choices without directing the outcome.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and actions to find what keeps problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by testing small behavior changes and noticing their effect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Briana will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending approaches and adjusting as progress is seen.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Talk with the therapist after the matching questionnaire about how sessions can be scheduled to match everyday routines.
