Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Happy patient looking away

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 Shreveport

Searching for therapists in Shreveport starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Shreveport therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people seeking similar care.

In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with offices near areas like South Highlands, Highland, Broadmoor, and downtown, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Louisiana. In-person care may work well if location and commute are important. Virtual therapy may fit better if you need more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can assess fit.

Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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