About Kelsey

Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem, and depression. Kelsey aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable for worried parents and adults seeking clearer direction.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with a focus on what matters most at home and in relationships.

Background and approach

Kelsey supports clients as they try new ways of coping and communicating. Her approach blends active listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses client-centered methods and solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals.

Motivational interviewing helps when people want to find motivation and build confidence. Kelsey has worked with issues that often touch family life, including blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or shame. She has experience with chronic illness, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and related issues, and disruptive mood challenges.

Sessions are offered in English for people in Louisiana. Kelsey uses clear, everyday language so parents can quickly understand steps to try at home. She aims to help clients feel more capable and steady as they make changes.

For families and individuals looking for practical support around relationships and everyday stress, Kelsey emphasizes collaboration and realistic goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so you feel heard and can decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Kelsey will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and life situation. Finding the right method is a collaborative process and may include trying a mix of strategies. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what is working for the client.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy families and people with limited travel options. These formats let conversations continue between appointments and make it easier to use new skills in real life. The goal is to make therapy fit day-to-day life while focusing on practical steps to reduce stress and improve relationships.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
