Kelsey GiddingsLPC

Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, family conflict, and symptoms of depression. Kelsey aims to make starting therapy straightforward and understandable for worried parents and busy people.

In sessions she emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. She focuses on practical conversation and clear steps that clients can try between meetings. That might include tracking patterns, practicing new ways of responding, or setting small achievable goals.

Kelsey blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy highlights the person’s perspective and choices. Mindfulness-based ideas can be used to build awareness and reduce reactivity.

Her work includes a range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, such as communication problems, life purpose questions, chronic illness and pain, blended family issues, grief around divorce or separation, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Kelsey also notes experience with autism and disruptive mood challenges.

She invites people to take gradual steps toward change and supports them along the way. The first meetings focus on understanding what matters most to the client and setting realistic, concrete goals for therapy.

How these approaches work for online sessions

Kelsey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and helps people make choices that fit their values and goals.

She may also draw on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their reactions and build steadier attention. Mindfulness techniques can be brief practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness during a busy day.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting as you go. Clients and therapist check in together about what helps and what should change.

The original biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose meetings that match energy and focus levels. It also allows trying shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions depending on what works best for day-to-day life.
