About &
Dr. & Mrs. Chelsey Ragas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and career concerns. She also supports those facing body image struggles, workplace issues, young adult transitions, and questions about life purpose. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
She uses several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often include person-centered conversation that centers the client's goals. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with emotional regulation and noticing unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing can be used when someone wants change around substance use or other habits.
Chelsey has five years of counseling experience and emphasizes respect and nonjudgment in every session. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works with people to build a plan that fits their situation. The plan is adjusted as progress and priorities change.
Clients can expect a straightforward, interactive process where the therapist and client both take an active role. Conversations address immediate problems and practical coping skills. Between sessions there may be simple exercises or mindfulness practices to try.
Her background and approach aim to make therapy feel manageable for people balancing work and life demands. The focus is on clear goals, small steps, and building skills that help in daily routines.
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy puts the client’s priorities first and creates space for them to set goals and lead conversations. This approach helps when someone needs to sort out values, life purpose, career direction, or emotional concerns by focusing on what matters to them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or cravings; these techniques can be practiced between sessions to build steady habits.Motivational interviewing is a conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It is often useful for addressing drug and alcohol addiction, shifting habits, or finding motivation for new routines. Chelsey works collaboratively with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches makes the most sense for their goals and preferences.
