About Briana
Briana Savage is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, depression, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.
Briana trained in marriage and family therapy, earning a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University of New Orleans. Her background includes work in medication-assisted programs for recovering addicts and roles supporting youth at risk and youth in a juvenile facility.
Her practice emphasizes systems thinking - looking at how relationships and roles shape current problems. She uses reality therapy and experiential techniques that focus on practical skills and actions people can try between sessions. Sessions often center on clear steps, behavior changes, and practicing new ways of interacting within family systems.
She draws on experience with conditions commonly encountered in community settings, including substance use, ADHD, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and depression. That experience informs how she helps people manage symptoms and change patterns that began in childhood or in family life.
Outside of work she lives in Baton Rouge, is married, and has two children and two dogs. She volunteers with her church media team and describes service as an important part of how she lives her values.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Reality therapy focuses on current choices and behavior. It helps people identify what they want to change and create small, concrete steps to get there. This approach can be useful for relationship patterns, parenting challenges, and addiction recovery where clear actions matter.Experiential techniques invite people to practice new behaviors in session. That might include role plays, guided activities, or exercises that reveal how family patterns repeat. These methods aim to make insights usable in everyday life rather than only talked about. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Adjustments are common as progress and needs become clearer over time. Confirm available session formats before booking, as specific options are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about format lengths and any practical considerations when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
