About Briana

Briana Savage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. She brings a straightforward, practical style to sessions and focuses on teaching skills clients can use between meetings. Her approach is down-to-earth and action oriented.

Briana earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University New Orleans.

Background and approach

She has seven years of clinical experience in a variety of settings. That background includes work with people in medication-assisted recovery programs and youth in residential and juvenile settings. She pays attention to patterns within relationships and family systems.

Her interest in systems means she looks at how roles, expectations, and routines affect day-to-day life. In sessions she combines reality therapy and experiential techniques, translating ideas into concrete actions clients can try between appointments. Clients can expect practical skill building aimed at clearer communication, better boundaries, and calmer reactions.

She also addresses concerns such as postpartum depression, fatherhood issues, blended family challenges, dissociation, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder where relevant to the person’s situation. Outside of work Briana is a Baton Rouge native, married with two children and two dogs, and volunteers with her church media team.

She describes service to others as central to her life and brings that same commitment to her therapeutic work.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Reality-based therapy focuses on present-day choices and behaviors. It helps people identify what they control, set achievable goals, and try concrete changes to improve relationships, work, or daily routines. This approach can be useful for stress, relationship difficulties, and problems that respond to new habits.

Experiential techniques bring learning into action through exercises, role plays, and real-time tasks. These methods help people practice communication, work through emotional responses, and test new ways of interacting with others. Experiential work often speeds skill learning and makes changes feel more real.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the person, test methods in early sessions, and adjust the plan based on progress and preference. That collaborative process helps match techniques to goals such as reduced anxiety, clearer boundaries, or improved family routines.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations and longer sessions. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter, more frequent contact fits a busy schedule. Those options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and everyday life.
