About Savannah

Savannah O'Berry is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and other tough moments. She focuses on clear steps and steady support so clients can feel more capable day to day. Savannah works from Alabama and brings six years of counseling experience to each session.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and aim to make coping skills useful and simple.

Background and approach

She leans on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way of daily life. Savannah has particular experience with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, sleep problems, and work-related strain.

Additional areas she focuses on include ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. In practice she often draws from mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people increase awareness and find motivation for change. Sessions are guided by what each person needs, with straightforward tools and homework when helpful.

The goal is to build practical habits that reduce distress and improve functioning. Her license is LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, AL LPC LPC04849. Savannah offers sessions through video, phone, chat, and text messaging which can fit into busy schedules.

International clients may also connect in English.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting concerns

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which helps with mood, sleep, and coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are, creating space for a client to set the pace and goals of their work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Savannah will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will test what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays practical and meaningful.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work when travel or life changes get in the way, and check in between meetings when short support is useful. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools they would in person while adapting how those tools are practiced.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
