Dr. & Mrs. Chelsey Ragas, LPC

Dr. & Mrs. Chelsey Ragas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with over 5 years of experience helping people navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. She has supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, identity questions, career obstacles, and eating disorders. Her practice also includes extensive work with substance addictions, including heroin, prescription pain medications, cocaine, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, and alcohol.

Her approach to counseling is approachable and interactive, grounded in the belief that therapy is a collaborative process. She works alongside clients to set and reach goals, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs rather than relying on stigmatizing labels. She emphasizes respect, care, and compassion throughout the therapeutic relationship.

Clinically, she integrates several evidence-informed methods to fit individual preferences and goals. Her work draws from client-centered therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to support practical change and emotional growth. She adapts those approaches to address areas such as body image, coping after natural or human-caused disasters, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, self-harm and self-love, women’s concerns, workplace stress, and challenges facing young adults.

For people ready to make changes, she offers steady guidance and practical tools to move forward. She accepts new clients in Louisiana and provides services in English, offering a supportive space for those seeking help with life transitions and ongoing concerns.
