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’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.

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 didn't always know I wanted to be a therapist. Growing up in a household where mental health issues were present allowed me to see firsthand it's effect on individuals. After undergraduate school, I landed my first job in a psychiatric hospital. That's when things clicked for me, and I knew that I wanted to help people become their best selves. I had a natural curiosity to understand the world, how people think, and what drives human behavior. I also believe in the power of connectedness. All these things came together and pushed me to pursue my graduate degree in counseling. My experiences early on taught me that no one is perfect, we all struggle, and we all deserve grace.

I have over 26 years of clinical experience working with diverse classifications of diagnoses, ethnicity, ages, and cultural backgrounds. The most frequent symptoms I can help with are managing ADHD, Depression, Bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, parenting, burnout, insomnia, COVID trauma, grief, and anger. I utilize a mix of CBT and motivational interviewing low key with a fair amount of optimism because CBT helps measure things and motivational interviewing is more people-friendly. My research interests are managing grief as result of pregnancy or child loss and counseling victims of gaslighting and narcissistic relationships. I constantly explore new treatment approaches and client experiences. I am an experienced LPC-S licensed by the LA licensed Professional Counselors Board of Examiners 3997. I am also a board approved supervisor in Louisiana. I am a LCMHC in the state of North Carolina (LPC) 19111. Seeking therapy can feel frightening, but you're making the right choice to not go it alone. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups, habits, trauma, symptoms, and/or experiences holding you back. Let's get started!

I'm Kenisha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people who have been strong for everyone else finally have someone in their corner. I specialize in two groups who are often overlooked: high-functioning women navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, and special needs parents who pour everything into their child while their own wellbeing goes unattended. My approach is warm, honest, and practical — we don't just talk about your feelings, we actually work through them and build tools that show up in your real life. I offer telehealth therapy across Louisiana and Florida and am in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare.

I am Elizabeth Jones, LCSW-BACS, QSSW from New Orleans, LA. I received my Masters of Social Work from Tulane University. My professional experience has allowed me the opportunity to support children, adolescents, and adults in the state of Louisiana for the past 11 years, and more recently the states of Rhode Island and Maryland. I have experience supporting individuals in schools (traditional & alternative), outpatient behavioral health clinics (community & school based), corrections and homelessness. My goal is to create an open, safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and where individuals can be supported with improving their overall quality of life.

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.
