Finding support with therapists in Louisiana can feel more manageable when care fits real life across LA, from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to smaller communities throughout the state.

BetterHelp helps people in Louisiana connect with licensed mental health professionals for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and other everyday challenges through video, phone, or live chat in a more comfortable setting.

For those comparing Louisiana therapists online, BetterHelp offers connections to more than 30,000 qualified providers globally and many people are matched in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Oh, hey there! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Robb and I have over 20 years of helping people transform into their best selves. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. However, I do have a 10/3 rule: I give you 10 minutes after the session starts (unless you message me in advance that you will be late) and then I will have to consider this a missed session and after 3 missed appointments in a row, I will no longer be able to work with you. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter. My approach is informed by my faith in Jesus and that Christ is the healer. For more on my understanding of this, please refer to this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2u_1H9ZN3AE My main area of focus and interest is in identity (knowing and loving who you truly are). Although I was trained in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (a form of CBT), I have found that our pain is a spiritual one and therefore requires a spiritual answer. I also help people in finding their true identity (who you are, not what you do). It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

As a licensed therapist serving Louisiana, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and family dynamics through a compassionate, culturally responsive lens. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered approaches, enabling each individual to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, how their thoughts and emotions influence their behavior, and what strategies work best for them. Therapy is a collaborative process where your lived experience guides the work, and I tailor interventions to meet your unique needs and goals. I offer a supportive space for clients experiencing social anxiety, isolation, attachment challenges, and trauma-related concerns. My therapeutic approach honors each person’s individual journey, with particular sensitivity to women’s experiences and the effects of systemic prejudice and discrimination. I am committed to creating a healing environment that respects individual spiritual beliefs and cultural identities. Grounded in an understanding of the intersections between personal experiences, emotional wellness, and systemic challenges, my work is strength-based and collaborative.

My approach stems from a systems perspective believing that many issues we encounter as individuals develop through our relational history with our families. My belief is that individuals are taught how to interact or disconnect with others by the connection or lack of connection they experienced through their family. For this reason, my approach leans heavily towards the fact that individuals come from stories and backgrounds that shape who they are and how they interact with the world around them.Through counseling I teach couples, individuals and families how to unify their interactions through the act of understanding and love. Active and verbal love transcends through hearts and creates healthy individuals who become healthy workers, bosses, preachers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, etc. I have been in the mental health field for over7 years and have worked in a variety of sectors such as private practice, community mental health, and disability support. Therefore , I believe I have a variety of skills working with various types of individuals.In addition, I have experience in supervising teams and aspiring new therapists. I have implemented documentation and diagnosis protocols that have been effective for ensuring consistent compliance and quality care for clients.Currently, I have the opportunity to work with various individuals , couples and families who have problematic behaviors both relationally and mentally. My belief is that we all have problems but having someone to walk alongside you to process these problems can be liberating, in the best kind of way. I am truly a lover of people and relationships and I have made it my life’s mission to restore the heart beat back into both of these things.
