Louise Handley

Louise Handley

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Monroe

Searching for therapists in Monroe starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Monroe therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and focus areas that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, the concerns they commonly work with, and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Monroe, the number of nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Louisiana markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical background, and scheduling fit in one place.

Therapy in Monroe can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take insurance, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists in Monroe, review bios, check insurance fit, and choose someone who matches your needs and schedule.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
