She brings 35 years of practice in Louisiana and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Her approach emphasizes listening, practical coping skills, and steady guidance during difficult times.

Clients meet a licensed professional holding LPC and LMFT credentials.

Addictions, compassion fatigue, and career stress are also areas she addresses alongside caregiving and aging-related concerns.

Her work includes attention to family-of-origin issues, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication problems, and adjustments after separation or divorce. She also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and substance-related struggles. First responder stress, fatherhood issues, and forgiveness work are among additional topics she helps people manage.

Dr. Humbles aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between meetings, such as coping strategies and communication techniques. Her long experience gives her a broad perspective on problem-solving and recovery.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accepted.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Evidence-based techniques she uses tend to focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common method helps people learn concrete coping tools for anxiety and sleep disturbances, such as breath work, activity planning, and step-by-step behavior changes that can reduce day-to-day distress. Another approach centers on talking through relationship and intimacy concerns to improve communication and set clearer boundaries, which can ease tension and help with role changes around pregnancy and parenting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients help shape what is tried and when to shift strategies based on how things are going.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose a quieter time of day for focused work or avoid being on camera for some conversations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well over distance so progress continues between meetings.
