About Gigi
Gigi Holder is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with seven years of experience as a mental health clinician. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also pays attention to body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, smoking and vaping cessation, women's issues, and workplace challenges.
Holder draws on her background in healthy behavior work to help people make practical changes in daily life. She spent nearly five years in healthy behavior therapy and saw how small, consistent changes can affect overall well-being. She looks for the story behind a person’s struggles and treats the client as the expert on their own life.
Sessions use clear, conversational methods. Holder uses attachment-based ideas to notice relationship patterns. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness help with mood, worry, and unhelpful thinking.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make lifestyle shifts, like quitting smoking or building healthier routines. The emphasis is on practical steps and realistic goals rather than quick fixes. People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or health event may find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Gigi Holder combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral work to address worries, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centered therapy here means the therapist follows the client's priorities and reflects back what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and testing small changes to see what helps.She also uses attachment-based ideas to notice how relationship patterns shape current difficulties. That perspective can help when communication problems, loneliness, or repeated relationship patterns are part of the concern. The approaches are practical and aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning rather than promising a particular outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals, preferences, and circumstances. That may mean mixing listening-focused work with CBT exercises or using motivational interviewing to support behavior change like smoking cessation.
The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
