“My interaction with Briana was incredibly positive and impactful. From the moment I entered the session, I felt welcomed, understood, and supported. Briana's empathetic listening, insightful questions, and non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions openly. What stood out the most was Briana's ability to help me gain a deeper understanding of myself, challenge my limiting beliefs, and provide practical tools for personal growth. I left the session feeling empowered, validated, and motivated to make positive changes in my life. Without a doubt, I would go back to Briana for future sessions, as the experience was truly transformative and enriching.”

Getting to know Briana Darby
I am Briana Darby, a Licensed Professional Counselor (License #37PC01113500) and National Certified Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montclair State University and a Bachelor’s degree from Kean University, specializing in working with teens, young adults, and adults facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, school-related concerns, trauma, and life or relationship transitions.
Using evidence-based approaches such as dialectical behavior interventions, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and strategic family approaches, I provide individual and family therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs.
My goal is to foster self-awareness, strengthen interpersonal skills, and improve daily functioning through a collaborative, safe, and empathetic environment that encourages mindfulness, self-compassion, and personal growth.

You can expect a collaborative, safe, and empathetic environment where treatment is tailored to your unique needs and focused on building self-awareness, strengthening interpersonal skills, and fostering self-compassion using evidence-based approaches.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I begin by understanding your concerns and goals, then develop an individualized treatment plan using dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and strategic family approaches to help improve daily functioning and support meaningful, lasting growth.
