Brianna Hernandez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brianna!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. I take a client-centered approach and work with you to better understand your experiences, identify your goals, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful change.

My focus

I work with children and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to help you better understand your experiences and emotions while building practical tools and strategies to support healing, growth, and greater confidence.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This collaborative approach provides you with tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and develop strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel completely secure exploring your thoughts. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and gentle. In our sessions, you can expect an open, steady, and patient communication style where we move entirely at your pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help others navigate through life's challenges specifically working with children and young adults.

My goals for you

Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights and we can adapt our plan at any time. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to support individual growth.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
