About Gigi

Gigi Holder is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with seven years of experience as a mental health clinician. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. Gigi emphasizes practical steps and lifestyle shifts to support overall health and wellbeing.

She spent nearly five years working in healthy behavior therapy and saw how small changes add up. That experience shapes her approach: she helps people notice patterns, set realistic goals, and try new behaviors. Gigi looks for the story behind each concern and treats the person as the expert on their own life.

Gigi uses several counseling styles to match what a person needs in the moment. She draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how relationships affect feelings and behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit too, especially when someone wants clearer focus or help finding motivation to change. These methods are used alongside client-centered listening to create a respectful and responsive process.

People come to Gigi for a mix of emotional and practical problems. She works with issues such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, mood changes, self-love, smoking or vaping cessation, women's issues, and workplace concerns. Her aim is to support manageable change and steady progress.

How these approaches guide online work

Gigi often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. This can help when relationship patterns or caregiving stress are part of the concern. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot thoughts that keep them stuck and try different responses that change mood and action.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gigi collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She listens, suggests options, and adjusts plans based on what helps most in real life.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are available online, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or make sessions possible when leaving home is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance when the approach and scheduling match a person's needs.
