About Kelsey
Kelsey Giddings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and depression.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on creating a welcoming space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and emotions while feeling supported in taking steps toward a more satisfying life. Kelsey draws from a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs, and she emphasizes collaboration and empowerment in the therapeutic process.
She encourages clients to explore underlying parts of themselves and to build practical skills for coping with daily pressures and improving communication. Kelsey aims to guide people through change with patience and respect for each individual’s pace and goals.
Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care
Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to explore the different parts or voices inside themselves, learning how those parts relate and how to bring care to wounded or protective aspects; this approach can help with persistent anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-criticism. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques, which can be effective for stress, mood concerns, and building coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people feel understood and supported while they determine their own goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist collaborates with each person to find methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatments may be blended or adapted over time so the work remains practical and aligned with what feels most helpful to the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility by providing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different locations and work styles. These options make scheduling easier and can support continuity of care when life is busy, while still allowing therapists and clients to address relationships, mood, and daily stressors effectively.
