Hello, my name is Kelsey Giddings, and I am a dedicated counselor committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. My approach to counseling is based on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
I have experience working with individuals facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, self-esteem issues, and personal development. I believe that every person has unique strengths and the capacity for positive change, and I strive to help clients recognize and build upon those strengths.
My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I work alongside clients to identify goals, develop effective coping strategies, and gain greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I value authenticity, empathy, and respect in the therapeutic relationship and believe that meaningful change occurs when clients feel supported and understood.
My goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed to face challenges with confidence. I am honored to be part of each client's journey and look forward to supporting them as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Hello. My name is Arcell Bodden. I received my Bachelor’s of Arts in psychology from the University of New Orleans and my Master’s of Education with a focus in counseling from Texas Southern University. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and I am also board certified by The National Board for Certified Counselors (NCC). I have 15 years of experience working with clients dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, substance abuse, and anger.
I specialize in helping my clients navigate challenging situations. From substance use disorders to grief, I've supported my clients in fostering effective communication and emotional expression. Sharing feelings openly and honestly is crucial for your well-being. Remember, transformation takes time, but there is always hope with hard work. You can move towards a more connected and hopeful future.
I believe healing happens in a space where your full story is welcomed and respected. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, depression, and life transitions through a supportive, culturally aware, and collaborative approach.
Many of the clients I support feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop practical tools that support healthier daily functioning and long-term healing.
Therapy is personal, and I believe it should feel that way. With nearly nine years of experience, I've learned that meaningful change happens when clients feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and simply be themselves. My sessions are conversational, genuine, and often include humor when it's helpful, so clients frequently leave feeling like they've had a real conversation instead of a formal counseling session while also gaining practical, evidence-based strategies they can apply in everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with other evidence-based approaches, to help clients create lasting change.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths. My work is grounded in trauma-centered therapy, recognizing that many emotional and behavioral challenges are rooted in experiences that deserve compassion, understanding, and skilled support.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Shreveport, LA
Searching for therapists in Shreveport starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Shreveport therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people seeking similar care.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with offices near areas like South Highlands, Highland, Broadmoor, and downtown, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Louisiana. In-person care may work well if location and commute are important. Virtual therapy may fit better if you need more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can assess fit.
Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
