About Whitney
Whitney Reichel is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by working on stress, anxiety, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings. Sessions are conversational and practical. Whitney helps clients set clear, realistic goals and checks in on small steps between meetings.
Background and approach
Whitney uses methods that center the client’s experience and build skills for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She also incorporates EMDR techniques and mindfulness practices when trauma or overwhelming stress is part of the picture. Those approaches are introduced gradually and tailored to what each person needs. Motivation and practical coping strategies are woven into treatment.
People often come for help with grief, relationship strain, mood shifts, or addictive behaviors, and Whitney addresses related issues like codependency, guilt, and shame. She supports work on identity and women’s issues as part of broader goals. Sessions are offered in English and provided through several online formats.
The focus is on steady progress and making therapy fit real life.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when past events continue to cause distress; it involves processing upsetting memories in a paced way alongside other supports.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Whitney works collaboratively to identify which method or combination fits a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She introduces new techniques gradually and adjusts them based on how someone responds in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep more of the in-person feel, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, homework, or when someone prefers typed exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person care.
