Getting to know John Nelson

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Empower Psychotherapy, bringing six years of diverse experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Education from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and am licensed to serve clients throughout the state. As a telehealth therapist based in Louisiana, I offer a comprehensive perspective on care, drawing from my extensive background in school settings and collaborative work with families. Whether you are looking for an online therapist specializing in neurodiversity or a telehealth psychologist perspective for all stages of life—from children to the elderly—I am dedicated to providing high-quality mental health services online.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you work with me, you can expect a therapeutic environment that is both collaborative and direct. My style as a telehealth therapist near me for Louisiana residents focuses on building a strong relationship through active listening and a healthy dose of humor. This foundation of trust is essential because it allows me to be honest with you; I will call out the behaviors that may be hindering your growth to ensure we are making real progress. In our online therapy sessions, I prioritize a telehealth for behavioral health approach that is supportive yet challenging, helping you and your family build practical strategies to thrive in your daily lives.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with a dedicated focus on the specific needs of the individual and their family, particularly those navigating Autism and ADHD. During our telehealth psychotherapy sessions, I utilize evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. A typical session of telehealth counseling is tailored to address concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, or relationship dynamics within a couple. Whether we are utilizing telehealth therapy services for a child in school or telehealth counseling services for an adult, my goal is to provide a clear, direct path toward lasting change and improved well-being at home and beyond.
