About Luke
Luke Chaddick is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana. He brings four years of professional experience to his practice and focuses on practical help for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and LGBT-related concerns. He meets people where they are and aims to make the first steps feel doable.
He listens without judgment and shapes conversations around each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps.
Background and approach
He blends client-centered care with techniques that teach coping skills and new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. Luke uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also draws on mindfulness to teach simple ways to calm the body and steady attention during stress.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure how to begin. He works with concerns that often overlap, such as panic attacks alongside depression, caregiving strain with grief, or identity questions with isolation and shame. He will tailor a plan that addresses those combined issues rather than treating them in isolation.
Sessions can be scheduled in flexible formats including video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Luke aims to make therapy fit into busy lives, with straightforward steps for getting started and a focus on what matters most to each person.
Useful approaches for online mental health work
Luke blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods to help people online. Client-centered work means conversations are led by the client’s priorities; the therapist reflects concerns and helps clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative decision-making helps shape session plans and homework that feel realistic for the client.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and share visual materials. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
