About Gigi

Gigi Holder is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with seven years of practice as a mental health clinician. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, motivation, and self-esteem. Gigi emphasizes practical lifestyle changes that support overall health and wellness.

She believes small shifts can make a big difference in daily life. During nearly five years working in healthy behavior therapy, she saw how choosing change helps people feel better and act differently.

Background and approach

That experience informs her work today. Gigi looks for the personal story under the symptoms and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Her style is collaborative and respectful.

She asks questions to uncover meaning, strengths, and patterns. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of tasks. Gigi draws on Narrative approaches to help people reframe the stories they tell themselves.

She also uses attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness ideas to shape goals and practice new habits. Techniques are chosen to match what a person needs and prefers. People who come to her often want to improve mood, feel more confident, or change a habit like smoking or vaping.

She also supports concerns around body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and workplace issues. Gigi offers straightforward guidance and steady support as clients try out new ways of living.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Gigi blends Narrative Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to support online work. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try out different meanings. It can be useful for issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and body image. Attachment-based thinking focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with communication problems and relationship stress. Client-centered practice means the therapist follows the client’s lead and treats their experience as the starting point for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gigi will listen to your concerns, talk through goals, and suggest which methods to try. This is collaborative - approaches may shift over time based on what helps you make progress and feel more capable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you read facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit during a break. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting that match your needs and schedule.
