About Briana
Briana Savage helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and changes in life. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings seven years of clinical experience to short-term and longer-term goals. Briana writes plainly and aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow.
She trained at the University of Louisiana at Monroe with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Loyola University of New Orleans.
How Briana works
Her background includes work with people in medication-assisted recovery programs and with youth involved in juvenile facilities, which exposed her to substance use disorders, attention-deficit issues, disruptive mood dysregulation, and depressive disorders. Briana pays attention to patterns in relationships and the wider systems around a person.
She draws on reality therapy and experiential techniques to help people practice new skills during and between sessions. That means clients often leave with concrete steps to try at home or work. Her focus areas include addictions, parenting concerns, blended family issues, postpartum depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with prejudice or discrimination.
She also supports people dealing with dissociation, family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, and ADHD. Outside work, she lives in Louisiana, volunteers with her church media team, and spends time with her spouse, two children, and two dogs. Briana aims to combine empathy with practical coaching so people can make changes that last.

How Briana's Approaches Work Online
Reality therapy focuses on present choices and practical steps. It helps people change behaviors that cause relationship strain, parenting conflicts, or problems at work by setting clear, achievable goals and trying specific actions between sessions.Experiential techniques use activities and exercises in session to build new ways of relating and coping. These methods can help with grief, trauma-related responses, dissociation, and practicing communication skills in a hands-on way.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Briana works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people read visual cues and practice interactions live. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, and quick skill reminders between sessions. These options provide flexibility so clients can work on stress, addiction recovery, parenting challenges, or relationship concerns in a way that fits their schedule and routines.
