About Brandi

Brandi S Thomas-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults, children ages 5 to 17, and couples on common concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression.

She also helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, career crossroads, and life transitions. Her listed focuses include ADHD, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, and family-related strains. Brandi names specific topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family issues, and chronic illness among the problems she addresses.

Brandi uses conversational, client-centered methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior skills when helpful. Mindfulness techniques and elements of the Gottman Method appear in her work with relationship concerns.

In practical terms she tailors discussions and treatment to each person. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills to handle day-to-day stress, and ways to change unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns. She emphasizes collaboration on what to try next rather than prescribing a single route.

Her approach suits people who want straightforward support for guilt, shame, or other heavy feelings linked to relationships, parenting, work, or past wounds. She accepts clients in English and works with international clients as noted in her profile.

If you are considering a first session she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to decide next steps together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach often involve open conversation about values, relationships, and decisions to help clarify next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing alternative responses, and setting small homework tasks to change daily habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can be taught and practiced in sessions and then applied between meetings to handle intense emotions or relationship conflict.

Brandi treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust techniques and pace until they feel useful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules. Remote work also makes it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that fit a busy day.
