Briana Bass, PhD

Licensed Professional Counselor

“If a part of you keeps asking - "is this it?" If you have anxiety that hums in the background, pressures of keeping up that won't lift, feeling lonely even around people who care about you...or a relationship that has gone quiet, or burnout from the argument you've had fifty times - this is my specialty. Effective, candid therapy for the pressures of modern life, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and relationships. For people who want more from life.”

About me

I'm Briana Bass, M.Ed., LPC, PhD(c), a Dallas-based therapist, Board Certified Clinical Sexologist, and former corporate executive focused on the emotional and psychological toll of modern life - anxiety, burnout, identity, ambition, connection, and the pressure to keep up. I work with those ready for change. I've been featured on more than 60+ podcasts.

Approach

I'm known for a direct, intelligent, and refreshingly candid approach. I bring clinical expertise and results-driven therapy to individuals and couples who are reflective, self-aware, and ready for change. Sessions are active, specific, and aimed at your life outside the room.
