Feeling lost in the chaos of life? Struggling with bipolar, BPD, DID, or the tough stuff most therapists won’t touch?Well, you’ve come to the right place. Kick off your shoes, relax your feet—let’s get real and talk about ‘What’s tea?’Therapy isn’t just venting—I’m not here for small talk. I have a laid-back vibe, but make no mistake—I’m here to challenge you and help you grow. No clichés, no endless “How does that make you feel?” My behavioral approachhelps you break cycles, not just talk about them. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to help you reclaim control and transform—because you matter too.

Hi, My name is John’Neiska "JoJo" Williams and I am a licensed professional counselor in the states TX and LA, I can assure therapy with me is never a cliche.

Adriana Ascencio

Adriana Ascencio

Therapist

Virtual • Bossier City, LA


My ideal client is thoughtful, capable, and quietly exhausted. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or the emotional shifts that come with pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting. On the outside, they function; on the inside, they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. They want more than coping skills — they want clarity, steadiness, and relief. Their goal isn’t to “fix” themselves, but to feel calmer, more confident, and less at war with their own brain. My ideal client wants to feel more like themselves again, because being stuck on autopilot isn’t living, it's surviving.

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 a Mental Health Therapist in Louisiana

Searching for therapists in Louisiana starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and specialties can vary, so it helps to look for someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when choosing a Louisiana therapist. If you live in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, or a smaller community, your options may look different based on local availability. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what a first session may involve, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.

The cost of therapy in Louisiana varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Louisiana therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare available appointments in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan before your first session. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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