Vasiliki Labonte, LPC

Vasiliki Labonte is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative, aimed at making therapy feel practical and achievable.

Vasiliki uses approaches that help people understand how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and choices. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and attachment-based perspectives to look at relationship wounds. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills people can use between meetings.

With six years of experience, she works with people who bring complicated or overlapping concerns, such as personality-related difficulties, codependency, substance problems, or issues tied to shame and guilt. She also addresses matters like body image, abandonment worries, and the emotional toll of serious illness.

Her method combines practical tools and exploration of deeper patterns. Clients can expect to learn ways to interrupt negative thoughts, practice new reactions in relationships, and notice how past experiences influence current choices. Progress is tracked in small steps and adjusted to each person’s pace.

Vasiliki aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through what’s hard and build clearer habits for daily life. She describes her work as collaborative and rooted in both thinking-based strategies and relationship-focused insight.

How attachment work and CBT translate online

Vasiliki integrates attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral work to help people understand how relationships and everyday thoughts shape mood and behavior. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence trust, closeness, and emotional reactions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to shift feelings.

She also uses client-centered principles that keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities and pace. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try tools, and adjust what’s most helpful as therapy proceeds.

If you are considering online options, confirm available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, or follow up between in-person visits. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage.

Licensed professionals adapt these methods to the online setting by guiding practice exercises, assigning short between-session tasks, and using conversation to track progress.
