About Brandi

Brandi S Thomas-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with eight years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a warm, respectful stance to tailor treatment to each person's situation. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered principles and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.

Brandi also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when those frameworks match a client's needs, and she offers coaching-style support for career and coping skills. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session options to fit different schedules.

Throughout her practice she emphasizes sensitivity and compassion, aiming to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients can set goals and track progress. Brandi adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual priorities, and she encourages people to acknowledge the courage involved in starting therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Brandi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by building practical skills. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the client guides the pace and goals of treatment. When appropriate she adds elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Brandi works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she will adapt methods over time so the treatment fits evolving needs. Clients and therapist jointly evaluate what techniques are most helpful and make adjustments together.

Online therapy with Brandi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care from varied locations and to access evidence-informed support using methods such as CBT, mindfulness, and DBT skills without needing to travel to an office.
