About Brandi
Brandi S Thomas-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings eight years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. Brandi also supports parents with parenting concerns and people navigating grief, self-esteem issues, career transitions, and ADHD challenges.
She approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Brandi tailors each session to fit the person's needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She blends practical skills with a calm, direct style so people leave with tools they can use right away. Her background includes training in Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. She also draws on DBT strategies and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed.
These methods help with managing emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication. Brandi works with children ages 5 to 17, adults, and couples, and she meets people of all genders. She offers different session formats to fit busy lives, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
People who come to Brandi often need concrete ways to handle daily stress, repair connections, or find direction after a life change. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps so progress is visible and manageable.
How therapeutic methods meet online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person's lead, helping build trust and clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and a safe space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can help people who struggle with emotional regulation and want step-by-step strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brandi will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then collaborate on a plan that fits the person. That means trying techniques, reviewing progress, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy makes this collaborative work easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging offer alternatives when schedules or comfort levels vary. These options support ongoing skill practice, quick check-ins, and steady progress without needing to travel.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
