Dana Booth, LCSW specializes in grief/loss/trauma counseling with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Having 35 years experience in hospitals, schools, Grief Recovery Center and now private practice, I personally know how sudden, anticipated, or traumatic grief can change your world. Depression/Anxiety often accompany grief/transitions in life and it's a healthy choice to reach out for support. It's a privilege to walk along side one on his/her grief journey. It's too heavy of a burden to carry alone. EMDR and evidence based therapeutic tools can relieve some of the heaviness you carry.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and virtual counselor in Louisiana. I have been in practice over 17 years working in a variety of settings with children, adolescents and adults. I believe we all deserve a little help sometimes, and that’s what led you here.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

It takes courage and commitment to begin the therapy process. It is my hope that through the creation of a safe, non-judgmental space and a collaborative relationship, clients will be able to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether its related to relationships, work, family, or even nothing that you can identify at all. As the therapist, I will provide that space and that relationship, as well as insight, skills, knowledge, emotional support, guidance, and encouragement that can lead each person to make the changes he or she is seeking. Ignoring the problem is not the answer even though it seems easier.

Helping and problem solving are my passion. I became a Social Worker so I could do just that.

At some point in their lives, most people struggle with a mental or emotional issue, perhaps resulting from unwanted changes, inability to cope, loss, abuse, or something else. I am skilled in dealing with mood disorders, personality disorders and some substance use disorders. Further, I have extensive experience in the area of domestic violence. While I do see some clients in person, most of my practice is online/telehealth through the SimplePractice platform. I'm licensed to see clients in Louisiana and Mississippi.

I believe in a balanced approach to emotional, mental, and physical change through the counseling process. I see counseling as a collaborative experience between client and therapist in a safe environment where we work as a team to define present problems, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the client's problems and to develop solutions.

Have you ever endearingly called yourself a "hot mess?" Do you love Jesus but you curse a little? If you don't know where you want to go but you're sure you can't stay where you're at: welcome. With me, you'll find no judgement, plenty of laughs (both with you and at you) and the GPS you've been looking for on this crazy journey. It's time to slip into the drivers seat and find the best route to the life you've always wanted.

You actually want a harmonious relationship, full of warmth, love, and connection, but somehow your significant other finds a way to accuse you of being inconsiderate, selfish, and lacking in understanding. You want the two of you to be able to get along and enjoy each other’s company, but often feel overwhelmed by your partner’s demands, constant complaints, and need for control. Maybe there’s a theme of not feeling appreciated, protected, wanted, seen, or heard. Do you want the good news or bad news first? Nearly all loving relationships experience exactly what you and your significant other are experiencing AND it can get better.

I believe that the therapeutic process should be individualized to meet your specific goals and needs while identifying and building upon your strengths. I enjoy working collaboratively to discover your potential, while gaining better understanding and awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My goal is to create a welcoming, peaceful, and nonjudgmental space where you are able to prioritize yourself and your emotions.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

I specialize in individuals who suffer from behavior, social, mental, and emotional barriers. My educational and clinical experience has equipped me with years of training analyzing behavior and mental disorders along with social and emotional adjustment. I utilize an integrative approach to counseling. Through my experience as a counselor I have gained competencies in mental processes and disorders and various therapeutic techniques such as behavior modification techniques, positive self-talk, coping skills, mindfulness, anger-management skills, and much more. I have a strong passion to educate and sow into the life's of others.

Life can seem like a roller coaster! At times we all have challenges and need help to navigate the process. I applaud you for taking your first steps toward your healing process. I am here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment that invites you to explore and connect with your thoughts and feelings.
