About Gigi

Gigi Holder is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with seven years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and self-esteem. Her work emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time.

She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on in therapy. Before moving into independent practice she spent nearly five years in healthy behavior therapy.

Background and approach

That background shaped her interest in lifestyle changes that support mental and physical wellbeing. She uses that experience to help clients set realistic goals and try new habits one step at a time. Her style is warm and collaborative.

She asks questions, listens for a client’s story, and helps people try different strategies. Sessions often involve practical skills and gentle encouragement rather than only talk about problems. Gigi draws on several evidence-based methods to match what the person needs.

She combines approaches to fit real-life concerns like mood, motivation, body image, caregiving stress, communication problems, and work-related issues. People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance and an emphasis on what’s achievable day to day. The focus is on improving wellbeing through short-term steps and steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and trust and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple skills to change thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and low mood going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and improving daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan stays practical and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try techniques between sessions, and get support without long travel. The variety of formats lets people pick what matches their life while working with a licensed professional to build healthier habits and better daily coping.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
