Yes! I offer in-person sessions at my office in Lafayette, LA, as well as secure online sessions via telehealth for clients in Louisiana, Ohio, and Minnesota.

Online sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant portal (SimplePractice) to ensure your confidentiality. All you need is a stable internet connection and a phone or laptop. Telehealth is available to clients in Louisiana, Ohio, and Minnesota. It's a flexible, effective option whether you're at home, at work, or anywhere with a private space and reliable connection.

Please contact me directly for current fee information. I'm happy to discuss rates during your free consultation. I value your time, my time, and the work we'll do together — and I charge accordingly. When you work with me, you are not simply paying for the time we meet, but also the behind-the-scenes work: training, research, treatment goals, and ongoing clinical consultation to better serve you.

I meet with clients weekly or biweekly at minimum to start. Consistency maximizes the impact of the work and allows us to make legitimate progress toward your goals. The total duration of treatment is ultimately up to you. Some people come for a handful of sessions and feel equipped to move on. Others prefer to dive deeper and commit to longer-term work. Both are valid.

The total duration of your treatment is up to you! Some people come for a “tune up” type of experience. They only want/need a handful of sessions and feel equipped to move on. Others prefer to dive in and do deeper work and those individuals may choose to commit to longer periods of time.

The first step is to reach out by texting or calling (337) 247-2043 or emailing info@melissalacour.com. I typically respond to emails the same day. If I miss a call, I'll return it within 1–2 business days. The free consultation is a chance to briefly discuss your goals and determine if I'm the right fit for you. If we're a good match, we'll get you scheduled. If not, I'll connect you with referrals.

If you're unable to attend a scheduled session, please notify me as soon as possible. A 24-hour notice is required to avoid the cancellation fee, which is the full cost of the session.

Please contact me for the most current information on insurance and payment options. I'm happy to discuss this during your free consult.

I believe honest communication is foundational to good therapy. If you ever feel like our work together isn't serving you, I want you to tell me. We'll adjust our approach, discuss what's not working, or talk through whether a different provider might be a better fit. Your wellbeing always comes first — even when that means connecting you with someone else.
