Hi, I’m Raina Deer. I’m a therapist who helps individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I specialize in working with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a welcoming space where you feel supported and can grow at your own pace.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.
I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.
Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.
Hello. My name is Arcell Bodden. I received my Bachelor’s of Arts in psychology from the University of New Orleans and my Master’s of Education with a focus in counseling from Texas Southern University. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and I am also board certified by The National Board for Certified Counselors (NCC). I have 15 years of experience working with clients dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, substance abuse, and anger.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Shreveport
Searching for couples therapists in Shreveport starts with what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities in their bios, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, finding one therapist who fits both partners’ needs and schedules can take extra planning. Virtual appointments may offer more options, especially if work hours, childcare, or travel across town affect availability. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they’re accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief consultation. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist structures couples sessions and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
Couples therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs upfront, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
