About
As a White female clinician, I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy informed by years of clinical leadership and frontline experience in restorative justice and mental health, grounded in self-awareness, humility, and a commitment to meeting clients where they are while supporting meaningful healing and growth.
I am a licensed professional counselor-supervisor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience in community mental health, private practice, and restorative justice settings. I work with adults, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions, including those involved in legal or high-conflict systems. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and focused on fostering healing, growth, and resilience.
I earned my doctorate in counseling education and supervision from the University of Holy Cross. My work is person-centered and humanistic, incorporating evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy. I value experiential, goal-oriented treatment and honor each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and personal story.
You do not have to navigate this season alone. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we will work toward meaningful change and emotional balance at a pace that feels right for you. When you are ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin this work together.

Andrew LeBlanc is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long history of working in mental health and a wide range of experience. He's been in this field since '93 before becoming a social worker and has worked with many different populations from young adults to the senior community.
Andrew received his Master's of Social Work from SUNO School of Social Work. He has also experienced what it is like to be affected by mental health personally and believes this gives him an advantage as a service provider.
Andrew incorporates a variety of techniques into treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches. "I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health and there should be no stigma in seeking assistance," he says.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Louisiana with over five years of experience as a clinician—and even more time spent working in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages. Many who struggled with PTSD and trauma, depression, OCD, anxiety, bipolar, and addiction. Many of the settings include psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient, community and private practice settings. I discovered my passion for counseling by witnessing the life-changing impact that feeling heard, supported, and truly understood can have.
Experiences such as the grief of losing a loved one, symptoms of depression that can lead to negative self-perceptions, or persistent worries associated with anxiety or OCD can leave us feeling stuck, replaying thoughts or moments over and over again. I utilize many cognitive behavioral and trauma-informed therapies to help foster awareness and empowerment.
I genuinely enjoy getting to know each client and collaborating with them to work toward their goals for therapy—whether it's to grow, change, or heal. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating; it can be a place of curiosity and insight. My goal is to support you in building resilience, gaining clarity, and creating lasting change in your life.

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
