I am Dr. Lawana J. Mabry, LCSW-BACS. I earned my undergraduate degree in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology in 2003 from Louisiana State University. I returned to LSU to obtain my Master of Social Work. I later obtained my Doctor of Behavioral Health degree from Arizona State University. I am a Licensed Mental Health Provider with an array of hands-on clinical experience, which includes, but is not limited to the Department of Children and Family Services (foster care and family services), hospital social work, inpatient psychiatric social work, and school social work. I was also the Clinical Director of an outpatient behavioral health agency with locations throughout the state of Louisiana for five years. For the most recent six years, I have been offering individual psychotherapy, family, and couple counseling to clients in Louisiana and Mississippi via my private practice and contract work. I work with children and families starting at age 5. They value the benefit of my flexible work hours because it decreases the amount of time they have to miss from work and/or school to attend their appointments and remain consistent in treatment. The virtual sessions are also beneficial because clients do not have to fight traffic, have access to transportation, find a sitter for the children, etc. in order to attend therapy. Instead, they have the luxury of attending via their device and at their convenience.

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.

I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s underneath the surface. I’m interested in who you are, not just what’s wrong. My goal is to create a space that feels real, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental, where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and move toward something that feels more connected and meaningful.

My approach is supportive, honest, and focused on helping you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected so you can start making changes that actually stick. I create a space where you can be open about what you're going through without feeling judged, but I’ll also ask thoughtful questions, point out patterns you may not have noticed, and help you look at situations from new angles so we can figure out what’s actually keeping you stuck. In our work together, some sessions may focus on building coping skills or setting goals, while others may be about processing experiences and gaining clarity.

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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and everyday life stressors. Seeking support can feel intimidating, but it is often the first meaningful step toward change. My goal is to help clients strengthen their sense of self-determination and feel more empowered in their mental health journey. I am deeply passionate about this work because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel empowered and develop compassion for themselves. I have seen individuals who once felt stuck or hopeless begin to recognize their own strength and create meaningful change in their lives. With the right support and commitment, growth is possible, and no one has to navigate that process alone.

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.

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 Depression?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Louisiana that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
