Becky Todaro, LPC

Becky Todaro is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and issues tied to trauma or self-esteem. She speaks plainly and works to make first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

With 24 years of experience, Becky draws on practical methods that help people manage moods, build confidence, and improve daily functioning. She treats concerns such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and career stress with attention to each person’s story and strengths.

Her approach centers on collaborative work. She helps clients identify patterns that get in the way and practices new skills together. Sessions often include thought work, behavior changes, emotion regulation, and exploring relationship patterns depending on what each person needs.

Becky uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered strategies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to guide sessions. She also incorporates emotionally-focused and Jungian concepts when they add value to understanding feelings and life stories.

She is licensed in Louisiana as an LPC and offers services in English. Becky supports people coping with life transitions, parenting challenges, body image and identity concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and complex histories like abandonment or adoption and foster care.

Becky aims to create a practical, steady process so people can notice small changes that add up over time. She encourages realistic goals and teaches tools that clients can use between sessions.

How Becky’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Becky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short at-home tasks that translate well to virtual meetings.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, validation, and building on each person’s strengths. That approach makes it easier to shape sessions around what a client finds most meaningful, whether in a video call or a chat message.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas are used when people need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skill practice can be taught in a session and practiced between meetings using phone or text check-ins as reminders.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Becky will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms and then try methods that match those needs. She invites clients to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical benefits like fitting appointments around work or childcare, choosing quieter formats when bandwidth is limited, or using short text check-ins for quick support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text-based messaging can make brief check-ins and skill reminders easier to fit into a busy day.
