Approaches we may use

There’s no single best approach for everyone.

If medication is considered, we discuss benefits, risks, and alternatives in plain language.

Questions Worth Asking

How do I get started?

Complete the get-started intake and choose the first available appointment time that fits your schedule.

Is my information private?

Yes. Sessions are confidential, and we explain limits of confidentiality in plain language (for example, imminent safety concerns).

Is this a local clinic in my city?

No. We don’t claim a physical clinic address. AB Holistic is telehealth-first, and services are provided via secure video where available.

What should I do in a crisis?

If you are in immediate danger, call 988 (U.S.) or local the appropriate emergency number. If it’s urgent but not life-threatening, reach out to a trusted person and seek professional help right away.

Do I need therapy or psychiatry?

It depends. Some people start with therapy; others prefer a psychiatric evaluation first. Many do both in a coordinated plan. We can help you decide after intake.

Is telehealth effective for grief counseling?

For many people, yes. Telehealth can be as effective as in-person care for common concerns, especially with a clear plan and consistent follow-up.

Can you work with stress from work or family in New Orleans?

Yes. We focus on practical tools you can use in real life—communication, boundaries, routines, and coping skills.
