Hi there! I'm Casey Gonzales, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree from Augusta State University and am licensed in Louisiana, with telehealth availability for clients in select states. Throughout my years in practice, I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, difficulty setting boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and decision-making struggles. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process grounded in safety, respect, and authenticity. I strive to make therapy a space where clients can deeply explore their experiences, gain insight, and build practical skills for making meaningful change.

My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful. As our therapeutic relationship grows, I offer direct feedback and thoughtful challenges to help you move out of patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR. An evidence-based approach that helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Lake Charles, LA

Searching for therapists in Lake Charles starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, life transitions, and trauma. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Bios can show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Lake Charles, the number of nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.

Therapy in Lake Charles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences and offer in-person or virtual appointments, and you can check which insurance coverage is available for your plan before booking. You can review bios, compare availability, see estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
