Lucon Rigaud

Hello, my name is Lucon Rigaud. I am a skilled and compassionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Brooklyn, New York. I completed my Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) training at St. John's University. I hold master's degrees in Systematic Theology and biblical studies from St. Joseph's College and Seminary and a Master's Degree in Education from St. John's University, with a concentration in mental health counseling.

Over the past decade, I have successfully assisted hundreds of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, and related issues through a combination of counseling techniques and spiritual guidance. My goal is to support individuals in becoming healthier and discovering their true selves. I am eager to continue this rewarding work.

My counseling approach is specifically designed to address the unique needs of each individual client. I primarily employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a leading therapeutic modality that assists clients in deriving meaning from their experiences, navigating complex decisions, and alleviating conflicting emotions such as depression and anxiety. While I have a strong interest in spirituality, I integrate this perspective into the therapeutic process for clients who express a desire to explore it. Furthermore, I implement a range of other evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, to enhance the effectiveness of treatment.

I kick off my journey with clients by diving into engaging sessions where we establish a powerful working alliance! My goal is to meet them right where they are and ignite their path toward exciting outcomes. I genuinely believe that every client holds the key to their own struggles and deserves to be treated with immense respect, dignity, and empathy. Together, we embark on an incredible healing adventure, with clients as my co-pilots navigating this transformative process. Building a strong rapport is the secret sauce that fuels our collaboration and propels us toward the goals we ignite together in therapy!.
