Meet Your Therapist
Licensed Therapist & Counseling Expert
I’m Bryana Berry, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker serving clients and clinicians across North Carolina and Virginia. My professional background includes work in medical social work, community mental health, military family support, and outpatient psychotherapy. I have provided care in settings such as the VA Medical Center, community mental health clinics, and military installations overseas, which has given me a broad understanding of how stress, trauma, grief, and major life transitions impact individuals and families.
​
I grew up in a military household, and that experience shaped my interest in supporting people through change, adjustment, and high‑stress environments. I entered the field of social work with a strong interest in military and community mental health, and over time, my work expanded into crisis intervention, medical social work, and long‑term outpatient therapy. These roles strengthened my commitment to providing grounded, practical, and skill‑focused care.
​
In addition to clinical work, I have experience as an adjunct instructor in social work education, where I teach and mentor emerging professionals. This work naturally led to my interest in clinical supervision and consulting. I now support unlicensed Social Workers in NC and VA through structured, ethically focused supervision and offer consulting services for clinicians and organizations seeking clarity, trauma‑informed practices, and improved systems.
​
My practice brings together the skills and perspectives I’ve developed across these settings. I provide therapy, supervision, and consulting with an emphasis on clarity, grounded support, and real‑world applications.
My Approach to Care
My approach is practical, structured, and focused on helping clients understand what’s happening and why. I provide clear psychoeducation, collaborate on what we want to focus on, and develop a treatment plan that’s both realistic and robust. Sessions blend reflection with skill‑building, and I draw from a wide range of evidence‑based interventions to support concerns such as grief, ADHD, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, and trauma‑related symptoms.
​
I believe in caring for the whole person, which means I’m honest about what I can help with and transparent when something falls outside my scope. If a client needs additional support—whether from a geneticist, sleep specialist, primary care provider, or case management—I coordinate care and make sure they’re connected to the right resources.
Counseling is one part of a larger picture, and sometimes people need more than therapy alone. That’s not a failure; it’s part of responsible, comprehensive care.
