Desiree Shaw

Desiree Shaw is an LPC who helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She focuses on building resilience and self-compassion so clients can face hard moments with clearer coping skills.

Her work emphasizes a trauma-informed, person-centered stance. That means she pays attention to how past hurt affects current life and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions aim to identify practical steps a person can try between meetings.

Desiree often supports people dealing with isolation, body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and issues tied to women's health. She also helps those navigating non-monogamous relationships and people learning greater self-love after loss or upheaval.

Therapy with her tends to combine gentle challenge with steady support. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set small, doable goals. Progress is framed around skills people can use in everyday life, not abstract ideas.

Desiree brings four years of clinical experience in Louisiana to her practice. She works in English and follows the standards of a Licensed Professional Counselor. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. For example, approaches that emphasize coping skills teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, and depression, such as breathing, pacing activities, and breaking problems into smaller steps. Another common approach centers on trauma-informed practices, which help people recognize how past experiences shape current reactions and develop gentler ways to respond to triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and allowing appointments from many different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler.
