About Brandi
Brandi S Thomas-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings eight years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and related struggles. She uses straightforward language and a calm presence to make starting therapy easier for worried parents.
She offers short-term and longer-term work depending on a person's needs. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals, whether that means learning tools to handle anxiety, improving communication in important relationships, or coping after a loss.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and person-focused rather than one-size-fits-all. Brandi blends several methods to match each person's situation. She draws on client-centered strategies to listen and align treatment with a person's values.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are available for people needing emotion management tools. She has experience supporting people facing parenting stress, grief, low self-esteem, career strain, compassion fatigue, attention challenges, and identity concerns including LGBT issues.
Brandi will work with clients to set clear, manageable steps and teach everyday skills to reduce overwhelm. Her style is respectful, direct, and compassionate. She aims to create a space where parents and adults can talk through fears, practice new behaviors, and notice progress over time.
Approaches for online stress and relationship work
Brandi uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and experience, letting the conversation guide what comes next. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them.She also practices cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used when stronger emotion regulation tools are needed, offering breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance techniques.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and rhythms. Video calls allow more face-to-face connection; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text is useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family life.
