Brianna Stallings , LMHC

Brianna Stallings is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Masters in Counselor Education, Mental Health from the University of Central Florida, and brings a long-standing commitment to mental health into each therapeutic relationship.

Brianna has worked with individuals facing trauma at various stages of life, as well as with people managing anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and the effects of abuse. Her experience also includes helping clients navigate communication and family relationship difficulties, struggles with self-esteem and codependency, parenting concerns, and other stressors that affect daily functioning and well-being.

Her approach is tailored to each person, drawing on person-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective, mindfulness practices that build present-moment awareness, and cognitive behavioral techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - a therapy used to process traumatic memories - and has observed meaningful progress for clients using this method. Brianna aims to walk alongside clients as they move through challenges, offering support and practical strategies to help them feel more capable and resilient.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual and their experience, creating space for clients to lead sessions while the therapist offers empathy and support; this approach is helpful for improving self-awareness and strengthening confidence in decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, panic, and related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, and it is often used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brianna collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time so treatment evolves with the client’s progress and priorities.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets people access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and try different communication styles until the client finds what works best for them.
