Luke Chaddick, LCSW

Luke Chaddick is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana. He holds an LCSW and brings four years of professional experience to his work. Luke aims to meet people where they are and to treat everyone with respect and compassion.

He focuses on concerns such as LGBT issues, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, attachment questions, and end-of-life topics like hospice counseling. Luke adapts conversations and plans to the individual needs of each person he sees.

His style is person-centered and practical. He listens first, then helps people set small, concrete goals. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when they fit a person's goals. Motivational interviewing and narrative work show up when people want to examine their stories or strengthen motivation for change.

Sessions are built around simple, clear steps. Luke aims to make the process manageable, especially when someone feels overwhelmed. He encourages people to notice progress between meetings and to bring real-life challenges into sessions so they can be worked on together.

Signing up for therapy can feel hard, and Luke acknowledges that courage. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as the work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to check in during difficult moments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let people use less bandwidth when internet connections are limited. Discussing logistics up front helps match the session structure to everyday life and responsibilities.
