Talmadge Gray, LPC

Talmadge Gray is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of clinical experience. He holds LPC credentials and practices in Louisiana. He focuses on helping people manage everyday struggles so they can move forward with more ease and clarity.

He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and family conflict. He also supports people who want to explore forgiveness and find clearer life purpose. Sessions are designed to match each person's situation and goals.

His style is direct and respectful. He listens first, then helps clients try practical skills and new ways of thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one approach he commonly uses to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Talmadge also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people accept hard feelings and build a life that matters to them. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, with steps people can try between visits.

He invites anyone considering therapy to take a first step. That might mean answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Talmadge emphasizes working together to find what fits each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises to try between meetings and short skill-building assignments that target anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behavior patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. In remote sessions this can help people live in ways that matter to them despite painful emotions. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering a supportive space to be heard and understood while identifying what clients want from life.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, keep progress between meetings, and pick the format that feels most comfortable.
