Gracishone Floyd, LPC

Gracishone Floyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use in daily life. Many people reach out when they feel stuck and need steady support and direction. She approaches sessions with the belief that each person knows their own story best. That means she listens first and asks questions to clarify what matters most. Sessions are aimed at building on strengths and small changes that add up over time. Gracishone uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities. Those approaches are mixed into down-to-earth sessions that aim for clear, manageable goals. Her work is rooted in practical problem solving. She helps people make plans for managing triggers, coping with cravings, and handling stress. She also supports people recovering from sexual assault, domestic violence, or other traumatic events by offering steady direction and coping skills. With three years of professional experience, she brings patience and a nonjudgmental manner. She encourages clients to try small experiments and notice what changes. Her goal is to help people gain more control and confidence in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening with respect and following the client's lead. In sessions she focuses on understanding what the client says and responding with empathy, which helps people clarify their goals and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress, and it leads to concrete strategies clients can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying techniques from CBT one week and focusing on client-centered conversations the next, then adjusting based on progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support, quick reflections, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach licensed professionals from different locations.
