More about Heather

  • 19 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Louisiana, and I have been working in the field of mental health for 19 years. During counseling sessions, I focus on solutions and working together to identify skills and insights that can have a positive impact on daily living. I believe it is important to set goals and review them during the sessions. This helps you can see the changes that are happening, and find alternatives if something isn't working.

Mental wellness has an amazing ripple effect not on only impacting self and personal outlook, but also on relationships, work life, and community- I look forward to helping you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I was skeptical therapy actually works for many years until I started seeing Heather. I’ve had many therapist in my life, but she is the first I feel that has truly helped me improve my life and relationships. She is amazing at what she does and I’m very thankful for her.
