About Bri-Anna
Bri-Anna Bostic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of practice based in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Bri-Anna also lists ADHD, relationship concerns, and life purpose among her main areas.
She works with teens and young adults navigating transitions and overwhelm. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. She aims to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Bri-Anna uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people track thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck.
Her background includes work in school and community settings. That experience shaped how she responds to stress, crisis points, and life changes. She draws on practical tools developed in those roles when helping someone figure out next steps.
Sessions are grounded and down-to-earth rather than formal. People who come to her often want clear steps they can try between meetings. The focus is on manageable changes and building skills for everyday life.
How Bri-Anna’s approaches are used in online sessions
Bri-Anna uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what the client says matters most, reflecting concerns and priorities back in everyday language. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what to work on next.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools such as tracking thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change; it helps people weigh options and find internal reasons to try something different.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, reduce commute time, or allow a shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while managing other demands.
