Briana Savage , LPC

Briana Savage is a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed professional counselor practicing in Louisiana. 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. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she is trained to work with couples and family systems, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) she provides counseling to individuals and groups.

Briana has worked with individuals, families, and couples across a range of settings, including medication-assisted programs for people in recovery, families facing the possibility of youth removal from the home, and adolescents in a juvenile facility. Through this work she has supported people with substance use disorders and mental health diagnoses such as ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and major depressive disorder. Her practice emphasizes systems thinking and the belief that clients hold the ability to create change within the relationships and structures that affect them.

In sessions she draws on reality therapy and experiential techniques to teach skills that clients can apply in daily life. A Baton Rouge native, she is married to her college sweetheart and they share two children and two dogs. Outside of practice she volunteers with her church media team and seeks to extend empathy and service beyond her professional role.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Healing

She uses reality therapy to help clients focus on present choices and concrete behaviors that influence relationships and daily functioning. This approach emphasizes clear, actionable goals and helps people take responsibility for decisions that affect their family life, recovery, and overall well-being.

She also integrates experiential therapy, which incorporates activities and in-session exercises to deepen awareness and practice new ways of relating. Experiential techniques can be useful for processing emotion, improving communication, and rehearsing skills that translate to real-life interactions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. She works collaboratively with each client to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and people managing complex responsibilities. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are and support consistent engagement in therapy without requiring in-person travel.
