Oh, hey there! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Robb and I have over 20 years of helping people transform into their best selves. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. However, I do have a 10/3 rule: I give you 10 minutes after the session starts (unless you message me in advance that you will be late) and then I will have to consider this a missed session and after 3 missed appointments in a row, I will no longer be able to work with you. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter. My approach is informed by my faith in Jesus and that Christ is the healer. For more on my understanding of this, please refer to this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2u_1H9ZN3AE My main area of focus and interest is in identity (knowing and loving who you truly are). Although I was trained in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (a form of CBT), I have found that our pain is a spiritual one and therefore requires a spiritual answer. I also help people in finding their true identity (who you are, not what you do). It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether you are facing a difficult transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, therapy can provide the support and tools needed to move forward with confidence and hope. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you identify your strengths, and work alongside you as you pursue healing and personal growth. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem issues, and unhealthy coping patterns. I also have experience supporting individuals and families navigating school-related concerns, serious mental illness, aging-related challenges, domestic violence, CPS involvement, and other emotional or behavioral difficulties. Prior to earning my degree in social work, I spent 6 years working in areas of social work such as domestic violence and CPS, and I have 4 years of experience as a social worker. Because every person’s journey is unique, I tailor treatment to fit your needs, experiences, and goals. Your treatment plan will be developed collaboratively and focused on what matters most to you. In our first few sessions, we will explore your concerns, discuss your history, identify your strengths, and establish realistic, measurable goals. As treatment progresses, we will review your progress, celebrate successes, and adjust goals as needed. My approach incorporates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and Grief Therapy, to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills for everyday life. When you work with me, you can expect a compassionate, respectful, and judgment-free environment where your experiences are valued. Therapy is not about having all the answers—it’s about working together to discover solutions, build resilience, and create lasting change. My hope is that each session leaves you feeling supported, encouraged, and better equipped to face life’s challenges with confidence. Whether your goals involve improving your mental health, strengthening relationships, processing grief, or learning healthier ways to cope, I am committed to helping you build a more balanced, fulfilling life aligned with your values.

Find a therapist near you in Gueydan, Louisiana

Finding a therapist near you in Gueydan, Louisiana starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Louisiana is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Louisiana, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Louisiana, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Louisiana

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Louisiana, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost.
