Kelsey Giddings, LPC

Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and depression. Kelsey aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and respectful for each person who reaches out.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions are intended to feel collaborative, with Kelsey listening first and helping people set practical goals. The work often begins with small, achievable steps to build confidence and momentum.

Kelsey uses straightforward approaches that match what each person needs. She draws from client-centered work to prioritize the client’s perspective and from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused conversations are used to help people manage anxiety and find workable solutions.

Her practice also attends to concerns related to aging and geriatric issues alongside conditions like chronic pain, autism spectrum traits, and family dynamics. Kelsey often helps people who are navigating divorce, blended family challenges, or feelings of isolation and guilt.

The goal in sessions is to support practical change. Kelsey helps people explore options, build coping skills, and take steps that fit their daily life. She encourages honest conversation about goals and progress.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy puts the client’s perspective first and focuses on honest listening and support. In practice this means sessions center on what matters to the person in front of the therapist and progress is guided by the client’s goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and try new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practical exercises.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce rumination and improve focus. These practices can be useful for managing worry, improving mood, and calming racing thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelsey will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and doable.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people join from different locations when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients practice skills, troubleshoot relationship and family concerns, and manage anxiety between appointments.
