About Luke
Luke Chaddick is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana who brings four years of professional experience to his work.
Background and approach
He focuses on helping people navigate challenges such as LGBT-related concerns, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life transitions, and he draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Luke emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation for care and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
In sessions he aims to create a collaborative space where clients’ goals guide the pace and methods used. He also attends to related areas like attachment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues connected to aging, hospice, and end-of-life counseling.
Luke’s practice integrates motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when helpful, offering a flexible mix of strategies tailored to individual needs. He encourages those who are ready to begin to take that first step and supports them through the process of matching treatment to their priorities and strengths.
Approaches and Online Options for Practical Change
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related symptoms. Client-centered therapy centers on listening with empathy and respect, letting the client's priorities guide sessions so personal insight and self-directed change can emerge. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and teaches skills for reducing reactivity and managing difficult emotions, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and rumination.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to maintain continuity when travel or other commitments arise. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular support, skill-building, and collaborative planning from wherever clients are located within the therapist's service region, helping maintain momentum between appointments.
