Bri-Anna Bostic, LCSW

Bri-Anna Bostic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She blends straightforward conversation with hands-on strategies so sessions feel approachable and useful from the first visit.

Bri-Anna focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She also helps people coping with life changes, relationship strain, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD. Her practice pays attention to issues like body image, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and feelings of isolation.

Her style is relaxed and supportive. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and try small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions often include talking through what's happening now and practicing concrete skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions.

Bri-Anna has five years of clinical experience in school and community settings. That background shapes how she finds practical ways to support someone through transitions or tough moments. She uses methods that encourage self-reflection along with steps to change unhelpful patterns.

People who reach out with struggles around guilt, shame, sexual assault and abuse, or questions about life purpose will find focused attention on those topics. Bri-Anna also helps with communication problems and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination. She aims to meet each person where they are and work toward goals that feel realistic and meaningful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practice; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a nonjudgmental, empathetic conversation where the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead to build clarity and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Sessions are collaborative and flexible so the approach can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates between sessions or use shorter check-ins that fit a busy day. These options make it easier to continue work during life transitions, while managing schedules, or when someone prefers not to use video.
