Shamia Humbles

Shamia Humbles is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Louisiana with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and eating concerns. She aims to offer respectful, sensitive care while helping clients take the first steps toward change.

Shamia uses a tailored approach that starts with listening to each person’s story. She and the client work together to shape the conversations and a treatment plan that fit the person’s life and goals. Sessions emphasize clear, everyday language and steps people can try between visits.

Her work includes helping people with body image and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce or separation, and financial worries that affect mental health. Shamia addresses mood disorders, post-traumatic stress reactions, and issues tied to women’s life challenges.

She approaches grief and loss by allowing space to name feelings and by helping people find ways to move forward at their own pace. When eating struggles are part of the work, she focuses on coping skills, patterns around food, and rebuilding a kinder relationship with the body.

Shamia emphasizes respectful partnership in therapy. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is or isn’t working. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How different approaches guide online work

Shamia describes her practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal oriented. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with manageable coping skills; this method can help with anxiety, mood challenges, and stress. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by practicing new ways to talk and set boundaries; this can be useful for people facing relationship strain or communication breakdowns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shamia will work with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts plans as progress is reviewed.
