Kacey is very easy to talk with. She understands why people behave certain ways and she shares that insight with you to help you in your situations. Kacey also is very kind, supportive and is helpful. You actually feel better after you talk with her about your life situations. I totally recommend her for counseling.

Kacey has been the best! She got me through the most difficult family situation I've ever experienced, helped me learn healthy coping strategies, and helped me change my approach to communication in a healthy way. I'm so much happier now than I was when I started therapy. Thank you, Kacey!

More about Kacey

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hi there!

My name is Kacey Ardoin, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, and Utah. I have been practicing in the social work field for about 9 years. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Georgia, and then went on to pursue my Master of Social Work degree with a clinical concentration. I have worked with clients in multiple settings and have experience with both group and individual therapy. My work has been primarily focused on helping people overcome depression and anxiety, especially as it relates to improving their overall health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). One of my greatest passions is suicide prevention, especially working with survivors of suicide loss. I have also worked in addiction and substance abuse recovery, and I greatly enjoyed seeing people reach the other side of their struggles. Other areas that I enjoy working with include relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and grief.

My counseling style is empathetic and person-centered. I believe everyone deserves to be heard and treated with mutual respect. I align with a person-centered, solution-focused therapy model, while also using cognitive-behavioral therapy and reality therapy techniques. I am also certified as a Problem Solving Treatment Practitioner and like to incorporate these principles into sessions when they may be helpful. I especially enjoy working with people who are ambivalent about making a change in their lives, and I enjoy utilizing motivational interviewing techniques when possible. If you are feeling stuck, there is a reason - and I would love to work through that with you!

Whether this is your first time in counseling or your hundredth time, I believe you have the power to break down whatever wall is standing in your way today. It takes strength to reach out for support, and for that, I want to congratulate you on your courage today!

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working together.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I don't even know where to start and/or what really to say. Kacey has been the only therapist (trust me, there's been many), whom after speaking with for the first time, that I felt could and would truly help me. She understood that the trauma is what it is and the part of discussing it was somewhat resolved but rather it was time to get crack'n on some healing action. She offered ways to move forward and heal. I am truly thankful to have found her. And, she's persistent in a kind and respectful way when I avoid bc I don't want to deal. She checks in, sends assignments. and is beyond supportive. I highly recommend Kacey; thanks so much Kacey and BetterHelp!

I've only been in therapy for two weeks, and I had the bad fortune of having my own vacation and her vacation happen at just the right point in time that we haven't had a chance to meaningfully interact or do therapy until like... yesterday. This is not her fault in any way, I want to make that clear. In the meantime though, everything she's done has indicated that her compassion and competence as a therapist is not in question.
