As someone who has experienced many hardships in life, mainly trauma and loss, I use a therapeutic approach that draws on person-centered and CBT-based strategies, creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to build coping skills and foster self-compassion.
My name is Janea Robinson, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care in a welcoming and respectful space. I view therapy as a collaborative process: you are the expert, and I am here to support you through your unique journey. I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and loss. Whether you are seeking relief from emotional distress, coping skills, self-understanding, healthier relationships, or a sense of hope. Together, we develop practical strategies that support lasting, positive change.
I see myself as an eclectic therapist, combining ideas and styles from a wide range of therapies rather than following cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) specifically. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a trauma therapy to assist with processing traumatic events more healthily.
We will work together to put the control of your life back in your hands. Life throws challenges that can make us feel like we have no options, but together we will change that narrative. Anything that life has thrown at you does not define who you are as a person. Our mistakes or bad choices aren't meant to control us; they're meant to teach us.

As a licensed therapist, I am committed to building authentic connections and helping clients navigate life's challenges with confidence, self-awareness, and hope.
I am Ashley Maeshack, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I earned my master's degree in counseling from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and have experience working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, trauma, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's needs and goals. I believe that healing begins in a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach that integrates CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Clients can expect a supportive environment focused on building coping skills, resilience, and lasting positive change.
Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and build on your strengths. If you're ready to begin your journey toward greater well-being, I look forward to supporting you along the way.

I create a warm, judgment-free space where clients can feel seen, understood, and supported as they work through life’s challenges and reconnect with who they are.
I strive to create a space where clients feel both supported and challenged. I believe meaningful growth happens when clients are not only heard, but also guided toward understanding their patterns, building insight, and taking intentional steps toward change.
I have experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), TrustBased Relationship Intervention (TBRI), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am currently receiving training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR ).
I feel every person is different, and I strive to make everyone feel welcome!

As someone who understands how life's challenges can affect our emotional well-being, I am passionate about helping others build resilience, strengthen relationships, and find hope through evidence-based, compassionate care.
Hello, I'm Katrenia White-Law, MA, LCPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, couples, families, and adolescents navigate life's challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and practical solutions. With years of experience in behavioral health, community mental health, family systems, substance use treatment, and telehealth counseling, I have had the privilege of working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, relationship conflict, addiction, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and family stress.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. Others are seeking healthier relationships, improved communication, greater self-confidence, recovery from addiction, or effective coping strategies to manage stress and create lasting change.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, build resilience, develop new skills, and move toward healing, hope, and a more fulfilling life.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Shreveport, LA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Shreveport therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety is treatable, and at Thriveworks Shreveport, our therapists and counselors work with their clients to help them live calmer and happier lives.
