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.

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


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.

Therapy is personal, and I believe it should feel that way. With nearly nine years of experience, I've learned that meaningful change happens when clients feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and simply be themselves. My sessions are conversational, genuine, and often include humor when it's helpful, so clients frequently leave feeling like they've had a real conversation instead of a formal counseling session while also gaining practical, evidence-based strategies they can apply in everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with other evidence-based approaches, to help clients create lasting change.
