About Briana
Briana Savage is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting questions, addiction challenges, grief, and related issues.

She trained at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, earning a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, after completing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Loyola University of New Orleans.
Background and approach
Briana holds LPC licensure in Louisiana - LA LPC 7432 - and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. Briana draws on systems-based thinking to look at how family roles and interactions shape problems. She uses reality therapy and experiential techniques to practice new skills in session.
Those methods focus on concrete choices, behavior changes, and hands-on exercises that clients can use between meetings. Her background includes work with people in medication-assisted recovery programs, families facing housing or placement stress for youth, and youth in juvenile facilities. Through that work she has supported people affected by substance use disorders, ADHD, disruptive mood dysregulation, oppositional issues, and major depressive disorder.
Outside of practice she lives in Baton Rouge with her spouse, two children, and two dogs. She volunteers with her church media team and values service and practical support as part of her life and work.
Approaches for family and parenting work online
Reality therapy concentrates on present choices and practical steps. Sessions focus on what a person or family can change now and teach simple, repeatable behaviors that improve relationships and daily routines. Experiential techniques involve role plays, structured exercises, and in-session practice so families can try new ways of interacting and leave with concrete skills to use at home.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they tailor methods so the work fits the family’s needs and priorities rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video and phone make it possible to have focused conversations at mutually convenient times. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options help families balance therapy with busy routines and varied schedules.
