About Briana
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in North Carolina with 14 years of experience, Briana Talarico helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, and trauma. She works with LGBTQ+ clients and those exploring sexuality and gender identity, and she supports adolescents as noted in her background.
Briana focuses on communication patterns and attachment issues. She helps people recognize codependent behavior and improve how they connect with others. She also addresses body image, shame, and guilt in clear, practical conversation rather than clinical jargon.
She has worked with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, and family-of-origin concerns. Briana also handles relationship transitions such as commitment struggles, divorce and blended family dynamics. Her practice includes discussions about BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture when relevant to a client's goals.
Briana describes her style as collaborative and nonjudgmental and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions center on identifying patterns, practicing new interaction strategies, and building coping skills for everyday life stressors. She tailors each session to a person’s immediate concerns while addressing deeper wounds over time.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about practical steps to change interactions and feel more grounded. She keeps language simple and focuses on what someone can do between sessions to reinforce progress.

How evidence-based approaches work in remote sessions
Many evidence-based techniques focus on identifying patterns and practicing new behaviors. For example, approaches that target communication teach concrete skills for listening, asserting needs, and resolving conflict; these are useful for relationship and family problems. Techniques that address attachment and codependency look at how early patterns repeat in adult relationships and include exercises to try between sessions to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Over the first few sessions they will adjust the approach based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick follow-up is helpful. It can also make some sessions feel less formal, which can help people practice new communication skills in real life. Ask about format details when you complete the matching questionnaire so the practical setup meets your needs.
