Briana Savage , LPC

Briana Savage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana who brings a systems-informed perspective to work with individuals, couples, and families. She holds 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, training that informs her focus on relational dynamics and practical change.

She has worked across a range of settings, including medication-assisted programs for people in recovery, family services for youth at risk of losing housing stability, and juvenile facilities. Those experiences have given her direct experience with substance use disorders, ADHD, oppositional patterns such as ODD and DMDD, and major depressive disorder, among other concerns. Briana emphasizes the role of systems in clients lives and supports people in shaping the changes they want to see within those systems.

In clinical work she draws on reality therapy and experiential methods to teach skills and techniques that clients can relate to and apply during periods of growth and transition. Outside of her clinical role she is a Baton Rouge native, married to her college sweetheart, and a parent to two children and two dogs. She volunteers with her church media team and describes service and empathy as central to both her professional work and everyday life.

Reality and Experiential Methods for Online Support

Briana Savage often uses reality therapy, which focuses on present choices and practical problem solving to help clients build better relationships and meet their personal needs. This approach is useful for people navigating family conflicts, relationship challenges, or when clear behavioral changes are a goal.

She also incorporates experiential therapy, an approach that emphasizes hands-on activities, role play, and real-time exercises to increase self-awareness and develop new ways of responding. Experiential techniques can be helpful for processing difficult emotions, addressing trauma-related patterns, and strengthening coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Briana works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life situation, adapting techniques over time to support steady progress.

Online therapy with Briana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it possible to schedule sessions around work and family commitments and to maintain continuity of support during life transitions, while working with a licensed professional from locations that suit the client.
