More about Beth
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and a Nationally Certified Counselor with over 7 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including but limited to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, identity issues, LGBT, career challenges, chronic pain, and eating disorders. As an individual who is hard of hearing I also gave personal as well as professional experience with coping with disability issues. I also helped many people who have addictions to substances including heroin, pain pills, cocaine, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, and alcohol,
My counseling style is approachable and interactive. I believe the counseling process is one where we both work together to help you reach your goals. I believe in treating everyone with respect, care, compassion, and and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a variety of counseling styles to include solution-focused, person-centered, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. As therapy is about you and your goals/achievements, our session style, the content and the treatment plans are structured to meet your personal and unique needs.
It takes tremendous courage and strength to not only be able to identify areas in your life that you feel need improvement. To actually take the dye is toward improvement and seek help from others especially a stranger is incredibly admirable. I’d you are ready to take the first step I am here and I look forward to taking this journey with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’m so great full for for her! She is everything I was searching for over the years!!
Mrs.Smith has helped me a lot and I love our sessions. She has made an impact already on my mental health and personally. I know she generally cares and wants to help me with my goals and every session we achieve something even if it’s small.
Beth is open and responsive to messages outside of scheduled scheduled sessions. She always listens to my concerns and helps me to understand strengths and weaknesses. She helps me to better trust myself and is working towards helping me with self esteem issues.
We have only been communicating for about a month..so I'm still new to the online counseling but ms both ann has been giving me some of the sense of confidence that I have lost over the period of my issues. I believe with more time she will be exactly what i need to improve myself so i can improve situation.
Beth has been great in helping me open up and face issues within myself that I have ignored for a very long time. She has been genuine, and non-judgemental when discussing terrible mistakes I have made in my life. I would recommend her to anyone looking for counseling services.
I like her, I haven’t talked much to her. But I like that she reply’s to me and helps me no matter what time. I think she is great
Beth has a good understanding of what I’m going through and is empathetic to my needs. She listens and offers advice when needed but allows me to hash things out on my own with suggestions if needed.
Awesome and very professional!!
