About Whitney
Whitney Reichel is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by guiding conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem, and anger. Whitney aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through real-life problems. She listens for what matters most and helps set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Whitney uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. For trauma-related symptoms, she may use elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in sessions when appropriate. Her work covers grief, relationship strain, mood disorders, and issues linked to substance use and codependency.
She supports people coping with shame, guilt, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness. Whitney also provides care around LGBT concerns and women's issues. Therapy sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Ongoing care uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Whitney’s approaches translate to online care
Whitney commonly uses client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy depending on a person's needs. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, which helps build trust and shape session goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Whitney will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques that fit the issue and the pace the person wants to take.
Online therapy gives options for different days and rhythms. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever is convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in fits a break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, skill practice, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
