Getting to know Briana Eckels
I am a licensed clinical social worker who loves providing a kind and supportive environment for my clients. I received my Master's in Social Work in May of 2018 from the University of Southern California and have a Bachelor's degree in Gender Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles. I currently work as a program director for adolescents at an intensive outpatient program in Lake Forest, CA, and am excited to grow my private practice. I can see clients in person in south Orange County or virtually. My passion for working with youth and young adults began as a childcare provider in undergrad. I have worked with younger children as an elementary school counselor, supported youth with autism spectrum disorder and their families as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist, and have been working with teens and young adults since 2020. I am passionate about working as a team with my clients to assist in their healing from trauma and behaviors that are stopping them from living the life they deserve and want. I honor providing a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment when offering therapeutic services, and I also enjoy bringing a little humor to sessions. I am goal-oriented and work quickly to give my clients tools to help them heal while also providing space for processing. For self-care, I enjoy reading, spending time with loved ones, trying new foods and places, and watching movies while eating ice cream.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a very caring yet honest therapist. Clients can expect me to be kind while also receiving direct skills and strategies on what they can practice outside of the session. I meet my clients where they are that day and provide as needed.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
