Gigi Holder, LCSW

Gigi Holder is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with seven years of experience as a mental health clinician. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. Gigi emphasizes practical lifestyle changes that support overall health and well-being. She views change as a powerful tool and encourages small steps that add up over time.

Her background includes nearly five years working in healthy behavior therapy, where she supported people as they made changes to improve daily habits. That experience shaped how she approaches care - focused on real-life routines and sustainable shifts. Gigi listens for the personal story behind each concern and treats the client as the expert in their own life.

Gigi uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thinking, practice present-moment skills, and strengthen motivations for change. She pays attention to how relationships and early patterns affect current stress and behavior.

Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable goals such as reducing daily anxiety, improving communication, or building self-worth. Gigi also supports people working on body image, caregiver stress, workplace concerns, smoking or vaping cessation, and women’s issues. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, centered on listening and practical steps.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Gigi works with people who want steady progress and concrete tools to feel better in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeated reactions and build healthier ways of relating to others and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxious reactivity and improve mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping sessions collaborative and goal-focused.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online care can still help fit therapy into a busy life by offering more flexible scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer travel commitments. It can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and bring therapeutic tools into daily routines.
