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.

Find a therapist near you in Lucky, Louisiana

Finding a therapist near you in Lucky, Louisiana starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Louisiana is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Louisiana, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Louisiana, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Louisiana

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
