About Benjamin
Benjamin Savant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood disorders including bipolar. He also addresses intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, and career concerns.
He uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He and the client set short- and long-term goals together and track progress. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps people can take to change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way.
Benjamin draws on client-centered ideas to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of him. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when people want concrete strategies for making immediate changes.
Benjamin has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which informs how he handles crises and transitions. He commonly helps people recovering from loss, relationship ruptures, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with adoption or foster care histories, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and family-of-origin issues.
Practical skills, clear feedback, and direct goal-setting are central to his approach. He encourages clients to notice how thoughts, emotions, and actions interact, and to practice different responses outside sessions. For people facing the pressures of early adulthood - leaving home, first jobs, study, and identity questions - he offers concrete ways to manage stress and make steady progress.
How Benjamin’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client's concerns and adapting the work to those needs, which helps people feel understood and guides next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, immediate changes and building on what already works to move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Benjamin will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That partnership helps shape whether sessions lean more toward problem-solving, skills training, or reflective conversation.
The therapist's listed session formats include phone and video, so check the current options before booking if you need a specific setup. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video when visual communication helps, or phone for lower bandwidth or a briefer session. Confirm the available formats and scheduling details when you arrange the first appointment.
