About Brandi
Brandi S Thomas-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with eight years of experience. She works with adults and couples and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, LGBTQ issues, grief, self-esteem, career and adjustment to life changes.
Her style is direct and practical. She uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals, problem solving, and learning skills to manage strong emotions and stressful situations.
Brandi also draws on dialectical behavior approaches and the Gottman Method when relationship skills and emotional regulation are central to a concern. That means sessions may include emotion regulation skills, communication practice, and structured feedback about interaction patterns.
She lists additional areas such as ADHD, abandonment concerns, attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended family dynamics. These topics are folded into the main work when relevant to a person's goals.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical tools often find this approach useful. The therapist will listen and then suggest exercises, ways of reframing thoughts, or communication strategies to try between sessions. To start, Brandi asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Brandi’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the client's priorities and what feels most helpful to them, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In an online setting CBT often involves setting clear goals, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, and using worksheets or short exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Delivered online, DBT-style work can include practicing specific skills, tracking emotions, and working on communication strategies useful for relationships and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean focusing on skills training for anxiety, communication practice for relationship strain, or mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Clients often adjust the mix of techniques as they learn what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time so therapy fits around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
