About Savannah
Savannah Kizzie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Alabama and Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career changes, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language.
Savannah combines practical skills with reflective work. She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.
Her background includes work with trauma, crisis response, and relational issues like communication and attachment. That experience informs how she helps people track patterns that keep them feeling stuck, such as codependency, avoidance, control struggles, or feelings of emptiness and abandonment.
In sessions she emphasizes clear steps and repeated practice. Conversations can move between identifying unhelpful thinking, trying a different response in the moment, and practicing brief mindfulness or grounding exercises. She also uses tools from the Gottman Method when couples work on communication and conflict routines.
She asks people to take an active role in deciding goals and pacing. Practical options for follow-up and check-ins are discussed so progress can be measured and adjusted over time.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and emotional needs, and it can help with fears around closeness, abandonment, and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought that keep distress going and teaching practical ways to test and change those thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness therapy teaches short, present-moment exercises that reduce reactivity and help a person notice shame or guilt without being overwhelmed.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, outline a few approaches to try, and adjust based on progress and preference. Goals and practical steps are set together so the work stays focused and measurable.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific online options were not listed. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it easier to practice skills in their usual routines when sessions are remote, and the therapist will help match session length and pacing to what works in everyday life.
