Courtney LaFleur

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and Mental Health from Southern Arkansas University, and I have spent the past six years working primarily with adolescents and their families. I also bring prior experience supporting college students at The University of Texas at Tyler and The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. My work has focused on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, family stress, school or college challenges, and life transitions. I know therapy can feel intimidating at first, especially when you are carrying painful experiences or patterns that feel hard to change. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and supported as we work toward healing, stability, and meaningful growth!

My approach is person-centered, relational, and individualized to each client’s needs. This means I focus on building a genuine therapeutic relationship while also helping you better understand your emotions, relationships, patterns, and goals. In session, we may explore attachment wounds, abandonment fears, trauma responses, mood changes, anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, family dynamics, or the ways past experiences are affecting your current life. I use different therapeutic modalities depending on what best fits your needs, and I believe therapy should feel collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all. My style is warm, grounded, curious, and supportive, with the goal of helping you feel safer, more self-aware, and more confident in how you move forward!

In our first session, my main goal is to understand what brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to gain from the process. We will talk about your current concerns, your history, your relationships, and the goals that feel most important to you. I also want you to have the opportunity to get to know me, ask questions, and get a sense of what it may feel like to work together. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, attachment concerns, family stress, mood changes, school stress, or a major life transition, we will begin identifying a direction that feels supportive and realistic. My hope is that you leave the first session feeling heard, more comfortable, and clearer about the next steps in your therapy journey!
