About
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. If you think that Andrew might be the right fit for you, don't hesitate to reach out.

As someone who also struggles with mental health, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help.
Hello! I am Claire Cross, PMHNPBC, and I’ve worked in healthcare since 2006. I graduated from the University of Louisiana Monroe in 2006 with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I have 15 years of nursing experience in critical care, surgery, and psychiatric nursing. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of South Alabama in 2020 and received a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Across the Lifespan Certification from the ANCC in 2021. I have 5 years of experience treating clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, and personality disorders.
My general approach involves working with the patient to find a medication regimen that works for them and that they are comfortable with. I feel that when the patient is comfortable with medication/medications that there is an increased likelihood of compliance and continued improvement in their mental health.
I want my patients to feel heard. It is so difficult to ask for help and places a person in such a vulnerable position that a trusting relationship is essential for progress. Congratulations on taking the step to ask for help. You should be very proud of yourself.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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
