About Luke
Luke Chaddick is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana with four years of experience. He focuses on building a respectful, empathetic space where people can talk about hard things and find clearer ways forward. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and LGBT-related concerns.
He also helps those coping with big life transitions and finding purpose in midlife. Sessions are adapted to each person rather than following a rigid script.
Background and approach
Luke uses a mix of narrative ideas, client-centered listening, and practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches. That blend helps people tell their story differently, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that matter day to day. His style is straightforward and compassionate.
He focuses on the client’s goals and keeps the conversation clear and focused. He aims to make therapy feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. People who choose him can expect short-term strategies for coping and longer conversations about meaning and identity.
He pays attention to issues like isolation, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and end-of-life questions when they come up. Luke tailors each plan to what the person needs now. If someone prefers remote sessions, he offers multiple formats to fit different schedules and lifestyles.
That flexibility supports people juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while they work on change.

How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Luke combines Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into a straightforward online practice. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from troubling stories and reframe how they see their problems. It can be useful for identity questions, grief, and patterns that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and letting the person guide the conversation, which supports trust and self-directed goals.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer concrete steps when needed. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Together these approaches let clients tell their story, explore feelings, and try practical experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and help pick strategies based on a person's goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are a collaboration where techniques are adjusted over time to match progress and changing needs.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging fit quick updates, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
