About Bri-Anna
Bri-Anna Bostic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression, and people coping with life changes and relationship struggles.
Bri-Anna uses straightforward, conversational methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and Motivational Interviewing to support changes someone wants to make.
Her background includes work in school and community settings. That experience shaped how she helps people manage overwhelming moments and major transitions. She has helped clients develop practical coping skills and clearer ways to describe what they are feeling.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps. That might mean identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing small behavior changes, or talking through next steps after a difficult event. She pays attention to issues such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, isolation, and guilt and shame.
People who come to Bri-Anna often want a down-to-earth conversation about what’s happening and realistic tools to use between meetings. To start, she asks about goals and what feels most urgent, then they decide what to work on together.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their concerns and feel heard before deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes and supports small steps toward those goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what the client finds useful. That makes sessions collaborative and focused on what the person wants to accomplish.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need to schedule around work, school, or caregiving, online options can make check-ins easier to keep.
