Emily Callais , LPC

Emily Callais is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage addictions, recover from trauma and abuse, navigate parenting challenges, and rebuild self-esteem and confidence. Her experience also includes working with individuals living with bipolar disorder and related mood concerns.

Emily emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She aims to make the therapeutic process approachable, acknowledging that beginning therapy can feel daunting and requires courage. Throughout treatment she offers steady support as clients explore goals, develop coping skills, and work toward greater fulfillment in daily life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Emily uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the challenges she treats. For addictions she focuses on strategies that reduce harmful use, strengthen coping skills, and build relapse prevention plans that fit a person’s daily life. For trauma and abuse she applies trauma-focused, skills-based work that helps individuals process painful experiences and develop emotional regulation and safety skills. She also offers targeted support for parenting and self-esteem concerns, helping people improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and build confidence in family roles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, try different methods when appropriate, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences so the approach fits the client’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility and access to care. These formats allow clients to meet from home or other convenient places, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use the communication method that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals to address concerns and move toward personal goals.
