Starting therapy can be a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be themselves and work through life’s challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, family conflict, serious mental illness, and developmental and intellectual disabilities. I’ve supported people facing both everyday stress and more complex mental health concerns.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need extra support, I’m here to help.

Therapist

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

DeAndra LeMalle

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Hi there!

My name is De’Andra LeMalle, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) that takes on a creative and expressive approach to therapy. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition to my clinical training, I am certified in Expressive Arts Therapy, Mandala Assessment Research Instrument (MARI), and Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT).

These modalities allow me to incorporate creative and body-centered techniques that help clients explore emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be difficult to express through words alone. My practice focuses on helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and identity exploration better understand themselves and process their experiences.

I work with clients who may feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Together, we develop meaningful strategies for healing, emotional regulation, and personal growth in a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment.

I work with adults and children who feel overwhelmed by painful experiences, difficult memories, or life circumstances that have left them feeling stuck. If you've been carrying grief, trauma, anger, or emotions that feel hard to manage on your own, you don't have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, better understand what you're going through, and begin moving toward healing with support, honesty, and hope.

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

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.
