I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
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.
Getting care for your mental health should feel like a step forward, not another obstacle. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Louisiana, I bring experience across both primary care and psychiatry so I can see the whole picture of your wellbeing. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating mood challenges, or just figuring out where to start, I'll meet you where you are. My practice is fully telehealth, flexible, and designed around your schedule.
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.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.
I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.
I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.
My clinical background includes supporting clients in diverse environments, where I have provided mental health services to individuals, adolescents, and groups. I am experienced in addressing substance use challenges alongside a range of mental health concerns.
My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
My path to psychiatric care is a little different from most. I spent over a decade as an Obstetrics Nurse before transitioning into psychiatric mental health — and that background deeply shapes how I show up for my clients. I understand the weight of life transitions, the complexity of the mind-body connection, and the importance of feeling truly supported. Now, as a PMHNP, I bring that same compassionate, whole-person perspective to mental health care.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 20 years experience in perinatal nursing. I specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, however you do not have to be a parent to make an appointment with me! That said, I currently only treat adults.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Shreveport
Finding postpartum therapists in Shreveport starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support concerns during pregnancy and the broader perinatal period. As you compare options, look for therapists who list postpartum, perinatal mental health, or maternal mental health in their specialties. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, you may find a mix of local therapists and virtual options across the area. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as specialty. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, or returning to work can shape which therapist is a usable fit. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access postpartum support from home, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer a dedicated office setting. Review therapist bios for details about scheduling, approach, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Many therapists on Headway accept insurance, and coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
