Kelsey Giddings, LPC

Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family strain, low self-esteem, and depression. Kelsey aims to make the first step toward change feel achievable and supported.

Her approach centers on listening first. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. That openness helps uncover what matters most and what gets in the way of feeling better.

Kelsey uses practical strategies to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and goal-focused methods to tailor each session. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life tasks people can try between meetings.

She also attends to motivation and decisions, helping clients sort priorities and build confidence to act. When relationship or family issues come up, Kelsey helps people improve communication and set clearer boundaries. For those managing sadness or low mood, she works on small changes that add up over time.

Kelsey describes therapy as a collaborative process. She supports clients as they set goals, test new behaviors, and notice progress. Her style is warm, direct, and practical, aimed at helping people create a more satisfying day-to-day life.

How Kelsey’s Methods Work Online

Kelsey often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT involves setting clear goals, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what works to reduce stress and depressive symptoms.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to each person's unique experience. That approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Mindfulness Therapy is another common tool she draws on to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase calmness.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Kelsey will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She adjusts the plan over time based on what feels helpful and what fits day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts between sessions and fit support into busy schedules. These options offer flexibility to match therapy to a person's routine and needs.
