About Savannah
Savannah O'Berry is a licensed professional counselor who uses a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and the stress of life changes. Her style is direct and compassionate, offering clear steps people can try between sessions.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and take values-driven actions. Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to encourage self-awareness and present-moment noticing.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when people are feeling stuck or unsure about change. Sessions often focus on real, everyday problems like sleep disruption, career stress, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and coping with addiction or bipolar mood swings. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, attachment or abandonment worries, body image, and compassion fatigue.
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with practical coping strategies offered as needed. With six years of clinical experience in Alabama, Savannah uses short-term tools alongside longer-term work when appropriate. She supports people through crisis moments and ongoing challenges alike.
Her aim is to build resilience and clearer decision-making so people feel more in control of their next steps. People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions and help creating workable plans. The focus is on skills that fit daily life, not on jargon.
Savannah encourages asking questions about the process and shaping therapy around each person's needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It’s useful for anxiety, grief, and times of life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Savannah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean mixing ACT, CBT, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing to suit the issue and the pace the person wants.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good when visual connection and longer sessions help, phone works well when bandwidth or camera time is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and access licensed professionals from different locations.
