Brianne Giallanza, LCSW

Brianne Giallanza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and grief. She speaks English and practices in New Jersey.

Brianne believes people know their own stories and bring strengths to therapy. In sessions she helps clients name what matters and build small, practical steps toward change. She aims to make the work feel manageable instead of overwhelming.

Her background includes a decade of client-facing practice across a range of concerns. That experience informs straightforward strategies for coping with loss, improving motivation, and managing mood changes. She also supports people dealing with isolation, caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, and workplace strain.

In therapy she focuses on clear goals and steady progress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms like anxiety, impulsivity, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety. She also helps with relational patterns such as codependency and abandonment worries.

Brianne encourages clients to try practical tools between sessions and to notice what helps most. Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities lead the work. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Brianne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and problem solving. One common approach she applies involves teaching coping and emotion-regulation skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings; these are practical exercises clients can practice between sessions to notice small changes. Another frequently used approach centers on behavioral activation and goal-setting to address depression and low motivation, helping people plan doable steps that rebuild routine and interest.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which techniques fit best based on the client’s goals, daily life, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting them as progress or new needs appear.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, coping plans, and goal-setting work to an online setting so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
