Scarlett Dupuy

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.

If you're reading this, there is a chance that you need an outlet, a safe space, as you're carrying more than you allow others to see. Is it worsening depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or stress? Maybe life itself has become exhausting, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're navigating seasons of change that has left you lost, disconnected, or uncertain. Whatever it is, I offer a safe space with warmth and compassion with the ease of not having to figure it out alone.

You deserve a chance to heal, persevere, and overcome obstacles that hinder you from your best self. One of bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story, truth, no matter how it looks. I look forward to being apart of your journey.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Louisiana

Searching for therapists in Louisiana starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and specialties can vary, so it helps to look for someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when choosing a Louisiana therapist. If you live in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, or a smaller community, your options may look different based on local availability. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what a first session may involve, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.

The cost of therapy in Louisiana varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Louisiana therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare available appointments in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan before your first session. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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