About Brianne
Brianne Giallanza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey and New York with ten years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression. Brianne names motivation and confidence as areas she often helps people rebuild.
She approaches sessions believing clients are the experts on their own stories and that their existing strengths matter. In practice she listens for what people already do well and builds on those actions. Conversations focus on practical changes and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory.
Brianne pays attention to relationship patterns that leave someone putting others first at their own expense. She can help people notice where codependent behaviors show up and practice small boundary steps that feel manageable. She also supports people facing illness in the family, caregiver stress, and feelings of abandonment.
Sessions address daily stresses and longer-term struggles like midlife shifts, seasonal mood changes, and social anxiety. She works with people navigating workplace strain and young adult transitions. Her work includes helping people grieve losses and reconnect to self-worth.
Her style is straightforward and focused on real-life skills. She encourages practical experiments between sessions and checks what actually helps. For a first step, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to outline goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear strategies that change thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different interpretations. That can be useful for anxiety, self-criticism, and social worries.Behavioral or skills-based techniques emphasize small, practical steps. These might include experiments in setting limits, gradual exposure to feared situations, or short practices to lift mood. Those methods are often helpful for people who struggle with people-pleasing, avoidance, or low motivation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That process can be adjusted as the client notices what is helpful and what is not.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time taken away from work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track what changes over time.
