Brianna Stallings , LMHC

Brianna Stallings is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and a wide range of life challenges. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Education in Counselor Education, Mental Health from the University of Central Florida. Her training and hands-on work include addressing trauma and abuse, panic and phobias, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and codependency, parenting concerns, grief, sleep difficulties, and ADHD-related struggles.

Brianna’s approach is individualized and collaborative, blending client-centered principles with evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an approach she has found helpful for resolving complex trauma-related patterns in a relatively focused way. Across modalities, she emphasizes practical coping skills alongside deeper processing to help clients move toward more balanced functioning.

Brianna values the therapeutic relationship and considers it an honor to sit with people as they work through difficult experiences. Her goal is to guide clients through challenges with empathy and clarity, helping them develop resilience and reach meaningful changes at a pace that fits their needs. She aims to support clients in feeling more empowered and better equipped to manage life’s transitions and stressors.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Brianna integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore feelings and goals - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical skills and exercises, making it well suited for anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and emotional responses; when appropriate, it can help clients process traumatic events and reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brianna works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors techniques accordingly, combining approaches when that best supports healing and progress.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and options such as live chat or text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from familiar surroundings while working toward meaningful change.
