Virtual Mental Health Therapy for Adults with Anxiety, Trauma & Life Transitions in California and Ohio

You deserve a space that sees you
as you

Finding a therapist can feel like trying to find someone who speaks your language without needing you to translate. At Healing Spaces Counseling and Consultation, therapy is more than just a place to talk: it’s a space to unlearn, rebuild, and finally feel safe being yourself.

I work with adults in California and Ohio who are navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, and identity exploration, often rooted in environments that told them they were too much, not enough, or somehow broken.

Whether you're recovering from a high-control religious background, exploring your sexual or gender identity, or dealing with the burnout of helping others before yourself, you're welcome here.

Meet Ethan Briggs, LISW-S, LCSW

Therapist. Human. Advocate for messy, meaningful healing.

I help adults navigating through anxiety, trauma, religious deconstruction, and identity exploration – especially those who’ve been made to feel like their pain isn’t valid or “bad enough.” Healing Spaces is rooted in the belief that therapy should be both clinically effective and deeply human.

You’ll find evidence-based tools like EMDR and CBT in our sessions, but also room for laughter, real talk, and learning to feel safe in your own body again. As a therapist with my own lived experience, I know how important it is to be supported without having to over-explain yourself.

I offer virtual therapy for clients in Ohio and California, creating a safe, flexible space that meets you wherever you are – literally and emotionally.

Inclusion is Not a Buzzword Here

As a therapist, I believe in showing up with honesty, curiosity, and a commitment to doing the work, both personally and professionally. That means honoring the full complexity of your lived experience, including how race, gender, class, disability, and other systems have shaped your story.

I recognize that my understanding of identity, power, and privilege is always evolving. At Healing Spaces, you’ll find a practice grounded in respect, equity, and affirmation – not just acceptance.

I specialize in working with:

  • LGBTQ+ individuals seeking affirming therapy and support around identity

  • People healing from religious trauma and spiritual abuse

  • Adults managing generalized anxiety, panic, and ongoing stress

  • Nurses, educators, and high achieving professionals facing burnout

  • Those experiencing grief and loss, whether recent or long-held

  • Individuals seeking evidence-based trauma therapy through EMDR, CPT, and CBT

Therapy is conducted virtually for clients in Ohio (including Columbus and surrounding areas) and California (including the Bay Area and Marin County), making support more accessible and flexible for real life. In person sessions are available for those near San Francisco, Berkeley, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Novato, Larkspur, Fairfax, and Richmond.

This is a space for critical thinkers, quiet grievers, identity questioners, former believers, helpers who are exhausted, and anyone ready to feel whole again.
