Professional statement

Nicole Chaisson is a Licensed Professional Counselor located in West Monroe, LA. She is passionate about women’s mental health, specifically the emotional impacts of pregnancy, childbirth, and the transition into parenthood. She also specializes in working with those who face addiction and substance abuse, including codependency. These behaviors may have a negative impact on a client’s relationships with friends and family, leading to feelings of isolation.

Nicole’s therapy style is warm and inviting, based in curiosity and without judgment. Clients appreciate sessions with Nicole because it gives them time to slow down, reflect, and process through what’s currently happening in their lives. Nicole practices Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with each one influencing the others. She also practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy.

Nicole earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from Southeastern Louisiana University. She has nearly 10 years of clinical experience and approaches each session with empathy and compassion. Clients feel a strong partnership with Nicole as they work towards meeting their mental health goals.
