Briana Savage, LPC

Briana Savage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana who brings practical, systems-oriented care to individuals, couples, and families. She 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, training that supports her work with relational dynamics and individual diagnoses.

Over seven years of clinical experience have included supporting people in recovery through medication-assisted programs, helping families with youth at risk of losing stable housing, and working with adolescents in a juvenile facility. She has treated a range of concerns including substance use disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), and major depressive disorder (MDD). These settings have shaped her belief that change often happens within systems and that clients hold the power to alter the patterns they find problematic.

Clinically, she draws on reality therapy and experiential methods to help clients develop usable skills and to practice new ways of relating. Her approach emphasizes concrete techniques that clients can apply during periods of change and growth. A Baton Rouge native, she is married to her college sweetheart and they share two children and two dogs. In her spare time she volunteers with her church media team and values time with family and friends, combining professional care with a personal commitment to service.

Evidence-Based Methods for Online Family and Addiction Care

She commonly uses reality therapy, a practical approach that focuses on present choices, personal responsibility, and problem-solving. This method helps clients identify unmet needs and develop concrete plans to improve relationships, daily functioning, and motivation for change.

She also integrates experiential therapy techniques, which engage clients in guided activities, role-plays, or in-session exercises to explore emotions and relational patterns. These methods can be useful for working through grief, family dynamics, and processing difficult experiences in a hands-on way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Briana works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life context. She tailors interventions over time and invites client input to shape treatment.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
