About Kelsey
Kelsey Giddings is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and depression, and lists additional work with guilt and shame.
Kelsey talks with people about what feels heavy and what’s getting in the way of making changes. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients name difficult feelings and notice what keeps those feelings going. Sessions are practical and aim to make small, usable shifts rather than overwhelming plans.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person’s experience central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and choices. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are used when someone wants short-term tools to manage stress or take next steps.
People who come in for relationship or family concerns often focus on clearer communication and repairing everyday patterns. Those dealing with guilt or shame look at how old expectations and current actions interact, and practice different ways of responding to themselves.
Kelsey describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set concrete goals and tracks small progress between sessions. New clients are invited to describe what they want to change and to begin with one manageable step.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the center of the session. It involves listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can clarify what they want to change. This approach helps with motivation, self-esteem, and the relational issues that often underlie guilt and shame.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It gives concrete steps to reduce anxiety, adjust thought patterns, and change how someone responds to guilt or depressive thinking. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without immediately acting on them, which can reduce reactivity to shame.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different styles as needed. Clients can expect to set clear, achievable goals and review progress together.
