Dr. Andrea Thompson

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with a Master’s degree in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families.

My approach is supportive, practical, and goal-oriented. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients build effective coping skills and identify patterns, improve focus and behavior, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, goal-oriented change. I also offer a faith-based perspective for clients who wish to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into counseling. My goal is to create a safe, encouraging space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

During the first session, clients can expect a structured and supportive conversation focused on understanding their concerns, goals, and background. We will explore current challenges, identify key areas of focus, and begin developing a clear, individualized plan for treatment.

I strive to create a calm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable sharing openly. By the end of the session, clients can expect greater clarity about their needs, initial strategies to begin addressing concerns, and a clear direction for moving forward.
