I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.
My clinical background includes supporting clients in diverse environments, where I have provided mental health services to individuals, adolescents, and groups. I am experienced in addressing substance use challenges alongside a range of mental health concerns.
My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.
Getting care for your mental health should feel like a step forward, not another obstacle. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Louisiana, I bring experience across both primary care and psychiatry so I can see the whole picture of your wellbeing. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating mood challenges, or just figuring out where to start, I'll meet you where you are. My practice is fully telehealth, flexible, and designed around your schedule.
You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.
Sometimes you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to start. Maybe anxiety is taking up too much space, a relationship feels stuck, grief has changed your life, or you keep finding yourself in patterns you want to break.
With 28 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, family concerns, grief, trauma, panic, and major life changes. I’m warm, straightforward, and genuinely curious about your story. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest while also helping you gain clarity and confidence in what comes next.
Most importantly, I want therapy to help you move forward, not just talk about what’s wrong.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I value authenticity and believe healing starts in a safe, trusting relationship. My goal is to offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged to grow. If it’s important to you, I’m also glad to incorporate Christian faith into our work together.
As a warm, inviting, and outgoing psychotherapist with more than 30 years of experience, I provide compassionate, personalized therapy for adults 18 and older, including individuals and couples. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and maternal mental health.
My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll work through challenges, build resilience, and help you reconnect with the people, activities, and experiences that bring meaning and joy to your life.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking, shopping, and spending time with my friends and family.
Hi, my name is Giselle Strasburg, LCSW and I am a South Louisiana native who has been practicing Social Work for 17 years. I earned my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Southeastern Louisiana University and my Masters degree from Louisiana State University. I have worked for two mental health agencies, a cancer center, BetterHelp: telehealth company, and two school systems. I am passionate about helping people from all backgrounds and ages become the best versions of themselves in order to reach their highest potential.
As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life. Over the past ten years in this field, one thing I’ve consistently learned is that simply having someone to talk to can be one of the most challenging parts of the therapeutic process.
I am here to offer safety, empathy, and practical strategies that support you in thriving the way you desire
