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.

Therapist

Virtual • Benton, LA


Hi, I'm Rob. I believe therapy works best when you feel accepted, understood, and free to be yourself. I strive to meet people where they are and create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief and loss, stress, anger, ADHD, and men's issues. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Whether you're struggling with addiction, coping with loss, dealing with difficult emotions, or trying to make sense of life's challenges, you don't have to do it alone. With more than two decades of experience, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical tools that support long-term emotional health and personal growth. For clients who request it, I also incorporate Christian counseling into our work together.

If you’re here, you might be feeling weighed down by stress, sadness, or worry that seems hard to shake. On the outside you show up, get things done, and care for the people around you...but inside, it can feel heavy and exhausting. I want you to know you don’t have to carry that alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 15 years of experience. My background includes helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of past hurts. My approach is supportive and down-to-earth: we’ll move at your pace, focusing on practical tools and new ways of thinking that can help you find balance, clarity, and peace.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you are truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s been holding you back, strengthen your confidence, and build the life you want to live.

I believe healing happens in a space where your full story is welcomed and respected. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, depression, and life transitions through a supportive, culturally aware, and collaborative approach.

Many of the clients I support feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop practical tools that support healthier daily functioning and long-term healing.

Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.
