Hello, My name is Dr. Danielle Lefort! I am a licensed marriage, couples, and family counselor who specializes in relationships. I have spent the last 12 years studying what healthy relationships look like and ways to incorporate healthy experiences in ways that change lives for the better. I also work with people who are looking to address anxiety, depression, and increase an overall sense of well-being in their lives. Please see my website at drdaniellelefort.com for additional information.
When I started undergrad at LSU, I always knew I wanted to pursue a private practice in therapy. I completed my MSW at LSU to later achieve my license in clinical social work. I was fortunate to serve in many different settings (healthcare, schools, families, etc.) where I found a common concern in all of them- the need for therapy.
Now that I am in this position working with individuals in therapy, I don't take for granted the unique opportunity I have with each client I get to work with.
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.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, or feeling stuck, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
