About Briana
Briana Savage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people navigate parenting stress, relationship strain, anxiety, and life changes. She writes in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Parents who feel overwhelmed or stuck often find sessions that zero in on daily routines and problem-solving useful.
Briana trained in marriage and family therapy and holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Background and approach
She also earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University of New Orleans. Her background includes work in community programs and residential settings that involved addiction recovery and youth services. Her clinical work has included supporting people affected by substance use disorders, attention-deficit issues, mood disorders, and disruptive behavior concerns.
Briana draws on reality therapy and experiential methods to help clients try out new behaviors and see what works in real life. Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps rather than long abstract discussions. In practice she pays attention to how relationships and day-to-day patterns shape stress and coping.
She often frames goals around concrete changes clients want to make at home, at work, or in their close relationships. Briana emphasizes skill-building so people leave with tools they can use right away. Outside of work she lives in Baton Rouge with her spouse, two children, and two dogs, and volunteers with her church media team.
She brings a values-driven approach to helping others and aims to support practical, sustainable change.

How Briana's Approaches Work Online
Reality-oriented therapy focuses on choices and behaviors in everyday life. It helps people identify small, concrete changes to try at home and work, which fits parenting and relationship goals well. Experiential therapy uses activities and role practice to test new ways of relating and coping, helping clients notice what feels different when they try new skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Briana collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques as clients try them and report back on what helps and what does not, so the plan evolves together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules. Video is useful for longer sessions and practicing interactions, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports short updates or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing family and work life.
