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, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
She works with adults, couples, and young people ages 5 to 17, and communicates with sensitivity and respect. Her approach is practical and person-focused.
She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions aim to build skills for day-to-day coping and clearer communication rather than rely on labels or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Brandi draws on several evidence-informed approaches when planning care. She uses the Gottman Method for relationship work, client-centered techniques to keep the client's goals central, and cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also brings mindfulness and dialectical behavior tools when emotion regulation or stress management is needed. People come to her for many reasons, including parenting concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with career changes, coping with life transitions, and issues around attachment and communication. Brandi emphasizes collaboration in each session.
She explains options, invites feedback, and adjusts plans as progress is made. Her aim is to help clients develop clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and stronger connections with the people who matter to them.
How Brandi uses approaches online and in-session
Brandi often blends relationship-focused, person-centered, and cognitive tools to address what matters most to each client. The Gottman Method is used to improve communication, reduce conflict, and build connection between partners through structured exercises and clearer interaction patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the session focused on the person's priorities, using empathic listening and reflective conversation to shape goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering practical techniques to change reactions and everyday behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandi will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that match needs and preferences. She adjusts tools as people make progress so the work stays useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of skills. Phone work can fit into a short break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access therapy from different locations and schedules.
