Breanna Herron
I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers a warm, grounded space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and create meaningful change. My style is relational and attachment-informed—meaning we pay attention to patterns that show up in relationships, and how earlier experiences may shape the way you cope, connect, or protect yourself today. I’m also strengths-based and practical: we’ll build on what’s already working while using CBT tools to reduce overwhelm, challenge unhelpful thought loops, and practice skills that support steadier mood, boundaries, and healthier relationships. The impact my clients often experience is feeling more emotionally stable and confident in themselves, with a clearer understanding of their triggers and patterns. Over time, many people report improved self-compassion, stronger communication, more secure attachment in relationships, and an increased ability to tolerate difficult emotions without shutting down or spiraling. My goal is for you to leave therapy with both deeper insight and real-life tools so you can feel more connected, empowered, and able to live with authenticity and intention.

First session
In the first session, we’ll focus on what’s bringing you in and what you want to be different. I’ll ask about current stressors, symptoms, relationship patterns, relevant history, and what has/hasn’t helped in the past. We’ll identify a few clear goals and begin mapping triggers and protective strategies through an attachment and CBT lens. You’ll leave with a shared plan for next steps and, when helpful, one or two practical tools you can start using right away (grounding, thought reframes, communication/boundary support).
Strengths
Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and deeply attuned. I’m skilled at helping people feel emotionally safe while also gently naming patterns that keep them stuck. My strengths include relational/attachment-informed work, trauma-sensitive pacing, and translating insight into actionable steps using CBT strategies. I integrate depth work (themes, relational patterns, core wounds) with practical tools (regulation, coping plans, boundaries, communication). I’m also collaborative and strengths-based. I’ll help you recognize what’s already resilient in you and build from there.
Ideal clients
I work best with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin—whether that’s from anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, or big life transitions. Many of my clients are used to taking care of others and are ready to start showing up for themselves in a different way. Together, we slow things down, make sense of patterns that may come from earlier experiences, and build more supportive ways of coping, connecting, and setting boundaries. I offer a compassionate, down to earth space where you can feel understood while also learning practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.
Treatment methods
Relational
I work relationally and attachment-informed, which means our relationship is part of the healing. Together we’ll notice patterns of closeness, distance, trust, and protection often shaped by earlier relationship experiences and gently practice new ways of feeling safe, staying connected, and building more secure, satisfying relationships with others and within yourself.
Strength-Based
I also weave in a strengths-based approach, which means we’ll build on what’s already working; your resilience, values, insight, and the ways you’ve survived hard things. Together we’ll identify your natural supports and skills, strengthen what helps you feel grounded and capable, and use those strengths to shift patterns that are getting in the way of the life and relationships you want.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I work relationally and attachment-informed, which means our relationship is part of the healing and we’ll notice patterns of closeness, distance, trust, and protection, often shaped by earlier experiences. I also use a strengths-based lens, building on your resilience, values, and what’s already working. CBT weaves into this by giving us practical, here-and-now tools: we’ll identify unhelpful thought loops, emotional triggers, and behaviors that keep patterns stuck, then practice skills (reframing, boundary/communication strategies, exposure/behavioral activation when relevant, and coping plans) that support more secure connection, steadier self-worth, and real-life change.
