   About Breanna

   Breanna Rodriguez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with seven years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or changes in their life. She also supports those working on self-esteem and confidence, and people dealing with relationship strain or postpartum depression.

   Breanna approaches sessions believing each person knows their own life best. She aims to build on clients' strengths and preferences rather than force a single path. Her style is collaborative and practical, with clear conversation about goals and next steps.

   Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to help people find workable changes, change unhelpful patterns, and manage strong feelings.

   Sessions often focus on short-term strategies like coping tools and communication skills, alongside deeper work on patterns that keep returning. Breanna emphasizes small, manageable shifts that fit into daily life. She supports parents and caregivers facing extra strain and people adjusting to pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period.

   People who prefer a respectful, strengths-based collaborator may find her approach helpful. She invites clients to describe their goals and works alongside them to set realistic steps toward change.

2. How her approaches guide online therapy conversations

   Breanna uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to find personal reasons for change. This approach focuses on gentle questions and reflection to boost motivation and confidence. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's experience and priorities, offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people find their own solutions.
   
   She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical exercises that change behavior. CBT techniques often include simple at-home practice to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Breanna will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide together which methods to try. She adjusts the plan as progress or challenges emerge, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
