Eguenel Louis, LMHC

Eguenel Louis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing substance use and mental health struggles. He focuses on practical steps people can take to get unstuck from habits, thoughts, and behaviors that make daily life harder. He speaks English, French, and Haitian Creole, and brings a calm, hopeful presence to sessions.

He favors a solution-focused, goal-oriented way of working. Sessions center on defining clear goals and building small, doable skills to meet them. He draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change.

Faith matters to him and he sometimes integrates the Word of God into discussions when clients want that perspective. He also uses elements from narrative and client-centered approaches to help people reframe their stories and feel heard. The result is an adaptable process aimed at practical change rather than theory alone.

With 12 years of experience as an MA LMHC licensed in Florida, he supports people working on addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. He also addresses related areas such as caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and substance concerns.

People who choose his work can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative planning, and skill-building. He emphasizes hope, steady progress, and tools that fit day-to-day life.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience, helping people feel heard while they work through problems like grief, relationship worries, or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction-related patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build commitment, which can be especially valuable for substance use and making lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is made. The plan is reviewed regularly so the approach stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help people stick with regular appointments. Ask about the available session types when you start the matching process so scheduling fits your life.
