About Kelsey
Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression, and she helps people who want clearer thinking and steadier moods.
She offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions aim to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Conversations cover what is happening now and what someone wants to change next.
Kelsey uses practical tools people can try between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals that build forward momentum.
Mindfulness methods are used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Client-centered principles guide the pace and focus, so the person's concerns shape each meeting. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what someone values and how to move toward it.
People often come for relationship strain, family problems, or the pressure of parenting and household roles. Kelsey also works with issues linked to chronic illness, grief around separation, feelings of emptiness, and challenges with communication.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Kelsey encourages clear steps and regular check-ins on progress. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.
How sessions work
How Kelsey blends approaches for online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the concerns the person brings. This approach helps people steer conversations toward what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills to test and change those patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical goals. It helps people build steps that move them toward clearer day-to-day improvements.
Finding the right mix of approaches usually happens together. Kelsey will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and new needs come up.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Kelsey uses practical exercises and homework that can be worked on between sessions to reinforce what was discussed and help steady change.
