More about Louvenia

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a LCSW and LCAS-A who has been providing therapy in NC since 2013 working with children, families, couples, and individuals with various concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, financial concerns, ADHD, communication, workplace conflict, self-esteem issues, suicide thoughts, drug use, alcohol use, personality and mood disorders. I have also done extensive work with trauma clients helping them heal from sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.

I believe the strength is within each client I work with and my job is to help you see your own strength. It takes courage to take the first step to reach out for help. Your confidence will begin to grow as you begin to take one step at a time with my guidance and support.

I use various therapy modalities from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, etc. to assist clients. We will work together to develop treatment goals for your specific concerns.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
