Professional statement

Brianne Duran is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California and the owner of 4 Wellness Counseling. She works with adults, teens, and couples across the state who are seeking relief from constant stress, anxiety, and emotional intensity. Many of Brianne’s clients are ready to feel more at ease but often feel swept up in big emotions, struggle to set boundaries, or feel disconnected from their own needs. Brianne is particularly sensitive to clients whose nervous systems feel stuck in "stress mode"—where overwhelm leads to shutting down or freezing—and works to help them move from overstimulation to a place of genuine connection.

Brianne’s holistic approach integrates Somatic Therapies and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to facilitate deep healing. She utilizes somatic techniques to help clients identify where stress is held in the body, allowing them to release physical tension and settle the nervous system. Complementing this, she uses DBT to teach tangible skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, helping clients navigate intense feelings without losing control. This combination empowers individuals and couples to understand their physical and emotional reactions, leading to relationships and daily lives that feel grounded and aligned.

With over two decades of experience in human services, Brianne is focused on ensuring clients see real growth through a balance of patience and honest guidance. Her style is interactive and positions clients as the experts on their own lives. Brianne’s first priority is creating a serene, safety-first environment where clients feel heard and understood. As a dedicated telehealth provider, she offers the flexibility of remote sessions to clients throughout California, making high-quality, personalized therapy an accessible part of your self-care routine.


Message to clients

My practice is built on the belief that true relief comes when we address both the story in your mind and the stress in your body. Unlike traditional talk therapy that stays strictly "in your head," I offer a unique blend of Somatic awareness and DBT skills to help you physically downshift from survival mode. Whether I’m working with you individually, with your partner, or your teen, my style is active, transparent, and grounded in twenty years of navigating real-world challenges—meaning I focus on tools that work in real life, not just in theory.

I don’t expect you to be "perfect" or have it all figured out; I invite you to bring your messy, overwhelmed, or shut-down parts into the room. My hope is that our work together gives you more than just insight—it gives you a tangible toolkit to handle life's intensity with confidence. If you are ready for therapy that feels less like a clinical appointment and more like a collaborative partnership for your growth, I’m here to help you get started.

Therapist's note

I am an out-of-network provider, which allows us to focus entirely on your care without insurance restrictions. While I do not bill insurance companies directly, I provide a monthly superbill for you to submit for out-of-network reimbursement. To make the process even easier, I’ve partnered with Reimbursify, an app that handles the paperwork and submits claims on your behalf in minutes.
