CONVENIENT, FLEXIBLE, PRIVATE.

Online Therapy for Minnesota.

Melissa LaCour, LPC

Therapy that helps you understand yourself — and show up fully.

Online counseling for Minnesota adults, families, and adoptees — wherever you are in the state.

Something in your life has brought you here. Maybe it's a relationship that's stretched thin. A past you haven't fully processed. A transition you didn't see coming. Or questions about who you are that you've never had a safe place to ask.

I'm Melissa LaCour, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a privilege to practice in Minnesota and offering telehealth therapy to clients across the state. Whether you're in Minneapolis, Duluth, Rochester, or a small town in between — we can do this work together.

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

Who I work with.

I work with adults, couples, families, athletes, and adoptees who are done with surface-level answers and ready to do the deeper work of knowing themselves.

 

  • Identity, attachment, grief, reunion, and what it means to belong

  • Communication, conflict, intimacy, and real connection

  • Navigating change, loss, and the moments that redefine you

  • The mental game, performance identity, and life beyond athletics

About Melissa

Minnesota has one of the highest rates of adoption in the country — including a rich history of international and transracial adoption. It also has some of the most thoughtful adoptive families I've encountered. And still, finding a therapist who truly understands the adoption experience can feel nearly impossible.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Louisiana, with a privilege to practice and see clients across Minnesota via telehealth. I'm also an adoptee. That's not a footnote — it's foundational to the way I work.

I don't offer scripts or cookie-cutter approaches. I offer a real relationship — warm, honest, and built entirely around you. My goal in every session is that you leave feeling like your time was genuinely well spent.

Credentials: M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling | Licensed Professional Counselor | Trained in TF-CBT, Functional Family Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Adoption Competency (C.A.S.E.)

How it Works:

  • Step 1

    Book a free 10-minute consult — low pressure, no commitment. Just a chance to connect and ask your questions.

  • Step 2

    We'll meet virtually from anywhere in Minnesota. All you need is a private space and a device with internet.

  • Step 3

    We'll do real work together — personalized, grounded therapy that helps you understand yourself and move forward.

Minnesota adoptees and adoptive families — this space was built for you.

 

Minnesota has long been a leader in adoption — and with that comes real complexity. Transracial and international adoptees navigating identity. Adoptive parents wondering how to support their child. Adult adoptees revisiting old wounds. Birth parents carrying grief they've never had space to process.

I work with every member of the adoption constellation — and I bring both professional training in adoption competency and a personal lifetime of lived experience to this work. The 7 core struggles of adoption (loss, rejection, grief, guilt and shame, identity, intimacy, and control) don't just show up in childhood. They show up in your relationships, your career, and your sense of self — often when you least expect it.

You deserve to work with someone who already understands that.

Let’s see if we’re the right fit.

I'm currently accepting new Minnesota clients via telehealth. Flexible scheduling available, including some evenings.
