Briana Gaunt

Life can often feel like a series of "limbo" states — caught between who you were, who you are, and the symptoms that seem to hold you back. Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, the intense fluctuations of bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder, or the weight of unprocessed trauma, my goal is to help you move from a state of survival to a state of agency. I am Briana Gaunt, a Pre-Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and families across Georgia — in-person and via secure statewide telehealth — through Radiant Recovery & Counseling Services. ✔ IMMEDIATE OPENINGS · EVENINGS & WEEKENDS · MEDICAID · MEDICARE · AETNA · BCBS OF GA · CIGNA · MOST MAJOR INSURANCE

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating: • Depression & persistent low mood • Anxiety disorders & chronic stress • Bipolar disorder & mood dysregulation • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) & emotional intensity • Trauma & PTSD — including complex, relational & religious trauma • Schizophrenia & serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) • LGBTQ+ identity exploration & political/social identity stress • Religious & spiritual trauma — deconstruction & healing • Couples conflict, fawning patterns & boundary challenges • Impulsivity, emotional dysregulation & anger management

With a foundation in philosophy and clinical counseling, I approach therapy as both science and an art. I don't just look at symptoms — I explore the "why" behind the struggle, helping clients renew their minds and shift their perspectives. My approach is grounded in empathy and candor — I validate your feelings while gently challenging the beliefs that no longer serve you. Evidence-based modalities I use: • Trauma-Informed CBT — reshaping thought patterns with safety and care • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) emotional regulation, distress tolerance & boundary-building • Bottom-Up Trauma Processing — body-aware approaches to PTSD & hypervigilance • Couples & Family Therapy — breaking cycles of fawning, caretaking & poor communication I am one of Georgia's few therapists with specialized experience in both LGBTQ+ affirming care and religious/spiritual trauma — providing a rare space where clients can explore identity, faith, and healing without shame or judgment.

I serve clients in Atlanta, Marietta, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Roswell, Smyrna, Dunwoody, Tucker, Lawrenceville, Gainesville, Rome, Dalton, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Athens, Albany, Warner Robins, Valdosta, Waycross, Brunswick, Milledgeville, Carrollton, Douglasville, Newnan, Griffin, and rural communities throughout Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, Henry, Cherokee, Hall, Richmond, Chatham, Bibb, Muscogee, and surrounding counties — via telehealth and outpatient care.
