Online clinical approach
Briana Barbour incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify recurring thought patterns and test assumptions that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. In practical sessions she and the client examine specific situations, outline alternative ways of thinking, and develop stepwise strategies to practice between meetings.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore ambivalence around change, particularly relevant for addiction recovery and behavior shifts tied to health or relationships. That approach emphasizes collaboration, curiosity about readiness for change, and supporting the client in setting personally meaningful goals.
Online sessions are offered through multiple formats to suit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients and the clinician to choose ways of communicating that best fit their schedules and the pace of the work they want to do together.
