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.
Are you struggling with substance use, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or noticing your relationships being impacted by stress or unhealthy patterns? You may feel stuck, out of control, or unsure how to make lasting changes. I work with adolescents and adults across Louisiana who are navigating addiction, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re trying to regain control, rebuild trust, or break patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can help you move forward with clarity and stability.
I’m Shawn, a licensed social worker dedicated to supporting individuals through challenges that impact their well‐being and overall success. I hold a BS in Sociology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, an MSW from Louisiana State University, and I am currently completing my PhD in Social Work at Alabama A&M University. My areas of specialization include trauma‐informed intervention, crisis response, behavioral and emotional support, family engagement, and advocacy for youth involved in alternative education or juvenile justice systems.
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.
Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.
I believe that therapy is a partnership built on trust, compassion, and respect. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and experiences. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to meet you where you are while helping you build the skills and confidence to create meaningful, lasting change.
I am a Psychology Professor, Ordained Minister, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in MS and LA, having been a therapist for 30 years. I am also a wife and mother of 3 adult daughters.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Shreveport, LA
Finding family therapists in Shreveport starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication challenges, and tension across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, training, and approaches that match what your family is navigating.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with local offices and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Louisiana. In-person care may work well when everyone can attend from the same location, while virtual sessions may make scheduling easier when family members live in different places or have different routines. Session attendance can also vary, from the full family to smaller groups or individual members. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist structures family sessions, communicates with family members, and approaches fit before you book.
Family counseling services in Shreveport can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
