Online Adoption & Attachment Therapy in Georgia

Specialized telehealth counseling for adult adoptees, couples, and individuals residing in Atlanta, Savannah, Athens, Augusta, Macon, and across Georgia.

You deserve a therapist who actually gets it.

If you live in Georgia and have been looking for a therapist who truly understands adoption, relationships, or life transitions — you are in the right place. Whether you are in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, or anywhere across the state — that therapist does not have to be local.

I hold telehealth privileges in Georgia (LPC-GA-1271) and am accepting new clients throughout the state. Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private space.

Let’s do the work in a way that works for you.

About Melissa LaCour, LPC | Telehealth Therapist in Georgia

I’m a Louisiana-based therapist with a privilege to practice in Georgia — which means you get the convenience of telehealth with a counselor who brings real depth and lived experience to the work.

I’m an adoptee. I’ve navigated career changes, loss, and the kind of hard questions that don’t have easy answers. I didn’t become a therapist because I have it all figured out — I became one because I know what it’s like to need a space where you can ask the questions that matter most.

My approach is warm and direct. I won’t hand you a worksheet you could have Googled. I’ll sit with you in the uncomfortable, challenge you where you need it, and help you build the kind of self-knowledge that changes everything.
