About Briana
Briana Savage is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and hard life moments. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship strain, and changes at work or home. Briana writes plainly and aims to make therapy practical and easy to follow.
She 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
Before that she earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University of New Orleans. She practices in Louisiana as an LPC. Her background includes work with people in medication-assisted addiction programs, youth at risk of removal from home, and young people in juvenile facilities.
That experience exposed her to substance use disorders, attention concerns such as ADHD, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, oppositional behaviors, and major depressive disorder. Those roles shaped her focus on real-world skills and clear, step-by-step plans. Briana favors approaches that invite hands-on practice.
She uses reality-oriented methods and experiential techniques to help clients test new behaviors and notice what changes. Sessions tend to involve concrete tools clients can use between meetings. Outside of work she lives in Baton Rouge with her spouse, two children, and two dogs.
She volunteers with her church media team and describes service as central to how she shows up both personally and professionally.

Approach and online options for hands-on change
Two commonly used approaches in her practice are reality therapy and experiential techniques. Reality therapy focuses on choices and actions in everyday life and helps people try out concrete behaviors to see what works. Experiential techniques get clients doing and noticing in the moment so they can translate those insights into different habits and better responses to stress or anger.Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different exercises, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That process is collaborative and focused on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to match people’s rhythms. Video lets you practice role plays and observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break during a workday or be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between scheduled meetings. These options increase flexibility for people juggling family, work, or travel.
