Briana Savage

Briana Savage is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Louisiana who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Briana aims to make therapy feel usable and down-to-earth for people juggling family and work demands.

She trained in marriage and family therapy, earning a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University of New Orleans. Over seven years she has worked in a variety of settings, including medication-assisted treatment programs, family services, and juvenile facilities.

Briana often draws on systems thinking to help people understand how behavior fits into family and relationship patterns. She uses reality and experiential therapy approaches to teach skills that are concrete and repeatable. This means sessions focus on small changes a person can try, then review what worked and what didn’t.

Her background includes experience with substance use concerns, ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders such as ODD and DMDD, depression, grief, parenting pressures, and blended family issues. She also addresses intimacy, self-esteem, career stress, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.

Outside of work she lives in Baton Rouge with her spouse, two children, and two dogs, and volunteers with her church media team. She frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving and supports people who want straightforward tools to manage anger and life stressors.

How Briana Uses Practical Approaches Online

Many of Briana’s methods focus on clear, hands-on techniques people can try between sessions. Reality therapy centers on making choices that align with a person’s goals and responsibilities; it helps when anger or frustration come from unmet needs and patterns that feel stuck. Experiential therapy uses activities or role-play to practice new responses in the session, which can make changes easier to use in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Briana will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor work for relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction recovery steps, or anger management strategies.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also lets people use methods like role-play and skill practice from wherever they are, so what is learned in session can be applied straightaway to everyday situations.
