Kelsey Giddings , LPC

Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts, low self-esteem, and depression. As an LPC she holds a professional license that denotes formal training and state authorization to provide counseling services in Louisiana.

She works collaboratively with clients to address motivation and confidence, improve communication, and navigate life transitions such as divorce, blended family dynamics, and aging-related concerns. Her areas of focus also include chronic pain and illness, feelings of isolation or emptiness, forgiveness and guilt, and other family problems. Kelsey applies evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage disruptive mood symptoms, developmental differences, and interpersonal difficulties when appropriate.

Kelsey strives to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where people can share thoughts and feelings and take steps toward meaningful change. She views the decision to seek support as a courageous first step and aims to empower clients as they pursue greater well-being and clearer direction in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Kelsey draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports clients as they explore feelings and find their own solutions - it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem work, and life transitions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, supporting clients coping with chronic stress and mood challenges.

Finding the right fit is part of the process, and Kelsey collaborates with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan for progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility by letting clients meet by video, speak by phone, or stay connected through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who use proven therapeutic methods.
