About Briana
Briana Lyon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Briana uses several evidence-based approaches when appropriate. She helps people improve communication, address forgiveness and infidelity, and explore life purpose after big changes like divorce or job shifts. She also supports those managing postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and workplace challenges.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. That means she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small, achievable goals. When needed she brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.
Briana has worked with men and veterans as well as women during pregnancy and childbirth. She also has experience with substance use concerns and self-harm, and she addresses those issues with practical coping strategies and steps toward safety.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early and current connections shape expectations and reactions, and it can help with relationship strain and communication problems.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience. The therapist listens carefully, reflects back what she hears, and helps people identify their priorities and choices. This approach supports work on self-esteem, life purpose, and decisions after events like separation or job change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skill-focused, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Briana will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include short-term goal setting and reviewing what works as therapy progresses.
