About Khadijah
Khadijah Cooper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and life changes. Khadijah also lists guilt and shame among the concerns she addresses, and she notes experience with veterans and multicultural issues.
She describes counseling as a collaborative process. The client and she build understanding and trust, define current problems, set future goals, and work step by step toward those goals. Sessions include talking through how past experiences still affect present feelings and behaviors.
Khadijah draws on a psychoanalytic foundation that revisits past traumas when those experiences remain unresolved. She also uses an existential approach that focuses on self-awareness and personal meaning. These perspectives guide how she looks at patterns of thinking and feeling in everyday life.
In practical terms she helps people identify where guilt or shame shows up in relationships, faith, or daily choices. She uses conversation to map patterns and then supports clients in trying different ways of responding. Her experience as an Army veteran also informs how she understands military-related stress and transition.
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings clearer and more manageable so clients can decide the next steps. People are invited to set goals such as reducing social anxiety, working through attachment worries, or learning new coping strategies for anger and depression.
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Two of the approaches Khadijah references are psychoanalytic and existential in orientation. A psychoanalytic approach looks at how past experiences and unresolved trauma continue to influence current feelings and behavior, helping people trace patterns that keep guilt or shame active. An existential approach focuses on self-awareness, personal meaning, and choices, supporting clients who want to clarify values and decide how to move forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Khadijah will listen to a client's goals, concerns, and preferences and then discuss which way of working might fit best. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue regular work on issues like guilt, shame, social anxiety, or coping with life changes from wherever they are located within the therapist's service area.
