As an empathetic and warm Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward meaningful change. I understand that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe the therapeutic relationship should be built on trust, collaboration, and compassion. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Cardinal Stritch University and have been practicing in Texas since 2016. I have extensive experience working with adults facing a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is personalized to each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical tools that support long-term emotional wellness and personal growth. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in themselves and actively engage in the therapy process. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply seeking support through a difficult season of life, my goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges while creating meaningful and lasting change.

If stress, anxiety, or relationships keep pulling you off balance, that’s worth addressing. My style is warm, direct, and practical, with humor when it helps you exhale. We’ll focus on boundaries, emotional safety, clear requests, and follow-through—so progress shows up outside session. CBT, Gestalt, Somatic, and Mindfulness techniques used. Client first. Before this career, I spent years in restaurants and behind the bar, where you learn fast how to read the room, listen between the lines, and help people feel advocate for themselves. That real world experience shaped how I show up in therapy: grounded, attentive, and genuinely interested in your story.

Do you wake up worried about the day ahead before you even get out of bed? At work, are you scared of making mistakes, feeling like everyone’s waiting for you to mess up?

If these anxious thoughts make you feel not good enough and exhaust you, you’re not alone. These feelings can undermine your confidence and affect your professional and personal relationships.

I'm a therapist who creates a space where clients can slow down, get honest with themselves, ad start making sense of what's been weighing on them. Whether its anxiety, depression, or feelings emotionally stretched thin, I help clients cut through the noise and get to the root of what's actually keeping them stuck. Using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and guide them in developing healthier ways of thinking and coping. My style is supportive, but also honest and direct. I believe growth comes from both feeling seen being challenged. The impact of our work together goes beyond symptom relief. Clients often leave with a stronger sense of self- awareness, better emotional regulation, and confidence to make decisions that align with the life they actually want to live.

I believe there are no small issues—every struggle deserves to be seen and heard—so I bring a forward-thinking, flexible approach to every session. The impact I've had on my clients is helping them move from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to using concrete coping skills that reduce depression, anxiety, and daily distress. Doing this work is always a joint effort; I guide, but you and I walk the path together to get you back to functioning at your best.

I’m Andrew J. Hebert, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty-four years of experience helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of real change. My approach is steady, down‑to‑earth, and rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a space where they can breathe, sort through what’s weighing on them, and feel genuinely understood. I use practical, gentle strategies—especially cognitive‑behavioral work—to help clients untangle their thoughts, break old patterns, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and manageable. Outside the office, I’m happiest with my rescue animals. I share my home with three dogs and two cats, all of them adopted, all of them full of personality. Caring for them keeps me centered and reminds me daily of the importance of compassion, patience, and second chances. When I’m not with them, you’ll usually find me unwinding with a good book, streaming series, and enjoying the quiet moments that help me recharge.

With 35 years of experience as a social worker, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages—from children and teens to couples and families. Over the years, I have honed a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face, whether it's managing depression, anxiety, or navigating difficult life transitions. I believe in the power of a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. Adolescence is a pivotal stage in a person's life, filled with unique challenges and opportunities for growth. As a retired special education social worker and school-based health center social worker from the Jefferson Parish School System, I have found working with teenagers to be particularly rewarding. Teenagers possess a refreshing honesty and openness that makes them receptive to guidance and advice. I have enjoyed the privilege of witnessing the willingness of adolescents to listen and actively engage in making positive changes in their lives. This eagerness to learn and grow is truly inspiring. My experience working with teenagers has highlighted the importance of providing support and guidance during this critical stage of development. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we can empower adolescents to navigate challenges, overcome obstacles, and strive towards a brighter future. Adolescents have the potential to make meaningful changes for the better, and it is a privilege to be a part of their journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. As a good listener, I am committed to working alongside you to create a treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and aspirations. Together, we'll focus on your goals and take meaningful steps towards you becoming the best version of yourself. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you and support your journey to healing and growth.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting men, women, and couples through some of life’s most difficult and disorienting seasons, including chronic illness and autoimmune conditions resulting from perpetual stress. My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I take an integrative approach that considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Many of the struggles people face today—anxiety, relationship conflict, feeling stuck—aren’t just about thoughts. They are patterns held in the nervous system, shaped by past experiences, and often reinforced over time. In our work together, I help you understand what’s driving those patterns beneath the surface. We don’t just talk about change—we create it through a combination of insight, practical tools, and body-based strategies that help you regulate, process, and move forward. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with couples who want to break unhealthy cycles and build a deeper connection. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they keep repeating the same patterns. Together, we create clarity, stability, and a path forward that feels grounded and sustainable. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. My goal is that you leave each session not just feeling supported—but with a clearer understanding of yourself and tangible steps toward real change. If integrating your faith is importan, we make sure that is apart of your plan, as well.

I can help you manage your stress by discussing tools that allow us to be honest with ourselves and how we feel. Yes! I'm talking about emotions. No matter how long we ignore them they still exist, bottled up and all. I want to help you share those emotions and thoughts out loud, guilt free! If you find yourself feeling lonely, depressed, anxious, misunderstood, or just stressed out. Then your the person I want to connect with and help you get back into the driver's seat of your life.

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or life transitions. You may find yourself overthinking, struggling to sleep, feeling disconnected from others, or carrying emotional pain that feels hard to explain or manage alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of what you’re going through and begin to create meaningful change. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients build healthier coping skills, process difficult experiences, and regain a sense of control, clarity, and confidence—so you can start feeling more like yourself again and move forward with greater ease.

Hi! I am so happy to meet you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 21 years of experience in behavioral/mental healthcare field. I graduated from a tiny little college in Pineville, LA-Louisiana College-with a bachelor’s degree in Social Work and went on to earn my masters degree from LSU-GO TIGERS!- a year later. My passion is to work with people who think they have unsolvable problems and walk alongside them as their problems become smaller and more manageable than they first believed. Many of my clients find that in the beginning of therapy they have no idea what can possibly help their situation. I’m not going to lie here, their issues can look really daunting. My promise to them and to every person that I help is that you are not in this alone. I am committed to walk along with you and not leave your side until you have the tools, knowledge, and strength to move forward without me. I promise that I will not quit until you decide the mission is complete.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) originally from Louisiana, now based in Tennessee. My career has primarily revolved around nurturing the social, emotional, and behavioral growth of children aged from birth to six years old. This involves collaborating with caregivers such as parents, grandparents, and teachers to address both the individual needs of the children and the emotional support required by the caregivers themselves. Parent counseling, behavioral coaching and educational consultation services for parents of children ages birth to six are also available to private pay clients. Understanding your family's goals and challenges, I can use my expertise as an educator and mental health consultant to assist in paving the way for your child's future success. Alongside my passion for early childhood development, I'm deeply invested in advocacy work, particularly for individuals with other or more diverse mental illness, including those who have been incarcerated or hospitalized. Working with such a diverse clientele has afforded me extensive experience with populations that are often misunderstood.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Louisiana rather than a city like New Orleans?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Louisiana. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Louisiana from Baton Rouge to Shreveport! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Louisiana.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
