About Brandi
Brandi S Thomas-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. She also supports clients dealing with grief, self-esteem, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach centers on respectful, sensitive care that adapts to each person's needs. She talks with clients to understand what matters most and builds a plan that fits their life.
How Brandi works
Sessions are shaped to match individual goals and comfort levels rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Brandi blends practical tools and supportive listening in session. She uses client-centered ideas to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to help manage stress.
When relationships are involved she may draw on the Gottman Method to address communication and connection. She has experience working across many concerns, including parenting and blended family issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, chronic illness or pain, body image, and coping with major life changes or disasters. Brandi also supports people facing aging concerns, caregiver stress, and co-occurring challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Brandi is available to work with international clients. She aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through problems and develop clearer next steps.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
The practice uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead and focus on what matters most to them. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration to shape goals and the pace of work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more constructive patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by giving clear skills to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships become strained.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to share preferences and goals so treatment stays practical and focused.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
