Brionna Brown, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brionna!

I am so glad you chose to start this journey. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and life changes with compassion and collaboration. It is my goal to help you become the best version of yourself and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.

My focus

I work with adults facing a wide variety of symptoms: anxiety, depression, family/relationship stress, and life transitions. Together, we can collaborate to build coping skills that will help you to feel more in control.

My approach

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These modalities help me work best alongside you to help you feel more in control of your emotions. I may use other techniques and skills to support your unique goals.

My communication style

I use open and clear communication with my clients to facilitate an open conversation. I use active and reflective listening skills to better understand you. I intend on creating a nonjudgmental environment for you to feel comfortable during the session.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with my love of Psychology and Sociology. I decided to marry both of the disciplines, and behold, Social Work was for me. I love making an impact with my clients, whether it was in the field working with children and families, or in one-on-one sessions with my Transitional Age Youth (TAY) clients or adult clients.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a partnership. You are the expert in your life, and I am here to help you navigate through some of life's challenges. Together, we will set goals that matter to you, and as you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

The first session is us getting to know each other and setting goals. It is normal to feel nervous opening up to a stranger, but I welcome you and your story. I look forward to working with you.
