Gigi Holder, LCSW

Gigi Holder is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with seven years of experience as a mental health clinician. She focuses on practical changes that help people feel better day to day. Gigi emphasizes lifestyle shifts and healthy behavior work as important parts of emotional well-being.

She often helps people managing stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. Additional areas she attends to include body image, caregiver stress, loneliness, and workplace issues.

Gigi likes to look for the personal story behind a problem. She views each person as the expert on their own life and works from what the client already does well. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify small, doable steps toward clearer goals and better habits.

Her methods draw on attachment-based thinking, client-centered beliefs, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches guide practical tools and short-term behavior changes as well as deeper work on patterns and relationships.

Gigi describes starting therapy as an act of courage and aims to support people through that first step. She encourages people who are juggling caregiving responsibilities to consider how small changes can reduce day-to-day strain and improve overall health.

How Gigi Uses Therapeutic Tools Online

Gigi draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to support change. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, actions, and moods interact and then teach practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons for change and build the motivation to try new behaviors.

She also uses client-centered and attachment-informed ways of working to build a collaborative relationship. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and helps identify strengths and patterns in relationships that affect daily life. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work, and Gigi will help decide which approaches fit best for a person’s goals and needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. They can also help people keep momentum with habit changes and caregiving routines by making appointments simpler to schedule.
