Briana Yort, LMHC

Briana Yort is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers virtual therapy for adults and young adults. She brings five years of experience in the mental health field and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Her style centers on building practical skills that make daily life feel more manageable.

She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which emphasizes emotional regulation and coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma, applying it when appropriate to address traumatic memories and their ongoing effects.

In sessions the work is practical and goal-focused. Clients can expect tools for mood stability, strategies for managing cravings or substance use, and steps for reducing worry and low mood. Briana aims to translate insight into real, observable changes people notice at home, work, or school.

Her approach values balance and self-care. She encourages small, consistent habits that support mental health and often uses mindful, grounded practices drawn from everyday life. Outside of her work she spends time outdoors, near water, and gardening, and she brings that same practical, steady tone into sessions.

Briana works in Florida and holds the credential LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are invited to confirm current session options when they choose to schedule.

Practical approaches for trauma and daily stress

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It helps when strong emotions feel overwhelming and when patterns of thinking or behavior get in the way of daily functioning.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used to address traumatic memories and the ways they continue to affect mood and behavior. The method targets distress tied to past events so people can experience less reactivity and greater stability in day-to-day life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what helps over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy weeks, which can make regular care more achievable. Online work can reduce travel time and let people meet with licensed professionals from different locations. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
