About
Andrew LeBlanc is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a long history of working in mental health and a wide range of experience. He's been in this field since '93 before becoming a social worker and has worked with many different populations from young adults to the senior community.
Andrew received his Master's of Social Work from SUNO School of Social Work. He has also experienced what it is like to be affected by mental health personally and believes this gives him an advantage as a service provider.
Andrew incorporates a variety of techniques into treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based, and strength-based approaches. "I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health and there should be no stigma in seeking assistance," he says. If you think that Andrew might be the right fit for you, don't hesitate to reach out.

From a holistic, nonjudgmental perspective, I provide individual and couples counseling, offering compassionate, personalized care through evidence-based techniques tailored to support self-growth and development.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. I provide general counseling services with a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, grief, stress management, anger management, self-esteem, men’s issues, parenting, marital counseling, and divorce-related concerns.
I earned my master’s degree in human services counseling from the University of New Orleans and hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University. I use an eclectic, client-centered approach, meeting clients where they are and tailoring therapeutic techniques to support growth, self-awareness, and recovery.
Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, whether you are new to therapy or returning after a past experience. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I offer a collaborative, engaging environment to help you move toward clarity, healing, and personal growth.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
If you’ve been fighting with your romantic partner, it can be difficult to bring up certain topics for fear of starting another argument. However, this isn’t an approach that typically leads to a stronger and healthier relationship. There are few things as important in a relationship as communication. The outside perspective that a therapist provides can foster a new starting point to discuss your issues in a safe and moderated space.
If you’ve been desperately hoping for a stronger and healthier bond with your romantic partner but don’t know where to start, it may be time to seek out help. Professional marriage counseling and therapy services are available at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA. Reach out today to get started.
Even if you feel like you have a solid relationship, it’s normal to find you may need couples counseling at some point. Most couples experience ups and downs in their relationship. You may even find that external pressures such as your careers and finances are interfering with an otherwise healthy relationship.
At Thriveworks Counseling, we help couples with a wide variety of issues. These are just a few:
You may have a strong bond with your partner and are just looking for help in one or more areas. Or you might feel like your partnership is heading toward a rough patch. Either way, you can take the first step to a happier and healthier relationship by committing to rebuild your bond. This can be a challenging process, which is why relationship therapists are here to offer guidance.
Many couples plunge into a relationship or a marriage thinking it’s going to be an easy ride and have a hard time dealing with reality when it hits. In difficult situations like these, having an outside perspective can be extremely beneficial. Talk therapy guided by an experienced therapist can help you to get the heart of your insecurities and frustrations so they can be expressed and dealt with.
Communication is central to a healthy relationship and most clients admit they have room to improve in that department. This doesn’t just include verbal communication skills, but also nonverbal communication. A trained couples therapist can help you both learn to discuss your emotional needs effectively so you and your partner can experience a greater degree of closeness.
At Thriveworks Counseling we’re committed to making counseling services as accessible as possible. One of the ways we achieve this is with our focus on online counseling. This can make it easier to find the time for therapy in your busy schedule, which can be even more difficult when you’re trying to balance multiple calendars.
New clients can schedule a session right away and even meet with their provider within the same week of reaching out. We also offer convenient rescheduling options because we know life can be unpredictable, including evening and weekend sessions.
We accept most insurance plans and Thriveworks clients enjoy many other supplementary services. If you’d like to get started, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA today.
