Briana Dodson, Licensed Professional Counselor

Briana’s career started in emergency services dispatch, where she helped people in crisis—but I soon realized my true calling was to connect more deeply with individuals and hear their stories. This shift, along with her own life-changing experience with a therapist, led her to the world of mental health. Briana graduated from Liberty University with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and she is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). 

As a therapist, her goal is to be a compassionate resource for clients, offering education and tools to help them heal and face life’s challenges with confidence. She specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She is also certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a powerful approach that teaches parents how to manage disruptive behaviors like hyperactivity, impulsivity, and defiance (because, let’s face it, every parent could use a little extra help sometimes!).

She takes a holistic approach to therapy, integrating methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support the mind-body connection. And, while she’s all about deep healing, Briana also believes in the power of laughter—when appropriate, of course—because sometimes, a good laugh can be the best medicine!
