Alexandria, Louisiana - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex life challenges and create lasting personal growth. I work with clients facing concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, relationship difficulties, life transitions, career development, communication challenges, family dynamics, and involvement with the legal system. I also have experience supporting individuals exploring life purpose, rebuilding self-worth, and overcoming barriers that may be preventing them from living the life they want. My therapeutic approach is holistic, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe that every individual possesses unique strengths and the capacity for growth, regardless of their past experiences or current circumstances. Together, we will identify obstacles, build on existing strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you move toward your goals. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and person-centered techniques, I tailor treatment to meet your specific needs. Whether you are processing trauma, working through relationship concerns, navigating recovery, managing stress, or seeking greater self-understanding, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional expertise. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, cultivate meaningful connections, and create a more fulfilling life. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Marissa Copeland

Alexandria, Louisiana - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online
In Person

I am a Professional Counselor licensed in Louisiana and Alabama with just over 10 years of experience working as a mental health professional in both counseling and clinical settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, intellectual disabilities, behavioral challenges, relationship issues, ADHD and general adjustment issues. I also have a passion for intertwining self-esteem-building/empowerment into treatment across the board. I see counseling as a process in which you the client, and I, the counselor, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define your desired potential, barriers to reaching this potential, and methods to overcome identified barriers with the goal of developing and obtaining the best quality of life that is possible. I approach counseling from a person-centered/cognitive-behavioral perspective in that a person’s attitudes and perception of self as well as patterns of thoughts and actions are utilized as a major component of the therapeutic process. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral practices with person-centered approaches to intervention. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I pride myself on authenticity and enjoy providing a safe space for my clients to tap into their authentic selves, feelings and overall concerns. I look forward to working with you!

Charlamonte Gordon

Alexandria, Louisiana - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

Hello, my name is Charlamonte Gordon and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana. I hold a M.ED in counseling and have been in the field for over 15 years. I have helped clients work through a wide range of concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, conflict resolutions as well as a variety of other mental health concerns. I have experience in helping individuals who find themselves dealing with other system agencies that can bring about anxiety such as the legal system, the school system, and even child protection services amongst other things. I have over 10 years of experience working with children/adolescents that exhibit at-risk behavior. Those who are at risk may exhibit behaviors such as poor impulsivity and anger control, manipulation, poor decision-making, lack of guidance and poor mental health management. Children and adolescents should have a voice when it comes to being able to manage and maintain their mental health. We can’t choose what happens to us, but we have the opportunity to choose how we respond. My aim is to ensure that both young and old know they matter and what they have been through does not define nor change who they would like to be. Being in the helping profession has given me the opportunity to touch and transform the lives of others in special ways. There are so many things going on in the world that can easily make us feel overwhelmed. As a Counselor, I pride myself on being patient, treating everyone with respect and having an open mind. I am a strong believer that we all possess strengths that can be built upon to pull us through those tough situations. Let me help you discover your inner strengths and how to use them to be the best you that YOU envision to be!
