About Me
Hi there!!
My name is Kacey Ardoin, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in Louisiana and Utah. I have been practicing in the social work field for 8 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, but most recently have focused on depression and anxiety. My work has been 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 also have a passion for helping people suffering with addiction and substance abuse, and seeing them reach the other side of their struggles.
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. I especially enjoy working with people who are ambivalent about making a change in their lives, and I utilize 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!
Thank you for your time!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kacey Ardoin. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Kacey has always been a quick reply when I've had to message her. Our sessions are always really good and I usually feel better when I get done with out sessions. She's given me many tools to use to help me get through my anxiety and trauma. She's given me good coping mechanisms to get through some of the more challenging times.
Kacey is the sweetest person I've ever met. She truly helps me understand my thoughts and work towards changing them! She's such a light.
Kacey is wonderful. She has been listening and empathizing while still providing great Socratic questions as guidance so that I can see the issues more clearly. I feel safe to talk about anything.
Kacey has been a wonderful therapist for me, in good times and in bad. She has challenged the way I view myself, encouraged personal growth, and consistently showed compassion during a really hard time. I have always felt validated, seen, and understood, without feeling like I had to work really hard to explain, and without being made to feel small or silly. I could not have asked for a better therapist, and I can't say enough about how much she has done for me!
LOVE HER
Kacey is amazing. She's very kind and makes me feel like I'm really being heard. I had initially left BetterHelp after my EAP ended. But her style, along with the setup of BetterHelp (being able to do chat and video calls) made me want to come back! Kacey is the best therapist I've worked with, hands-down!
Kacey is great! Very easy to talk to she is professional and compassionate. She’s helped me through so much!
Kacey is a wonderful listener with many excellent theories at her disposal for her patients. She really knows her stuff and I’m very happy so far with her services. Highly recommend!
She is really awesome. She really listens and cares about you. She makes you feel heard.
Kacey is honestly amazing!! She has comforted me and made me really realize my value as a human being! I see kacey as an actual friend, not just my therapist!! I have no fear of judgment or bias from Kacey! She really knows how to make me see things from a different POV!!
When I talk to Kacey, I see and feel sunshine on the other side of the phone line. She has good suggestions, is responsive, respectful and available.
Kacey is more than a counselor! She reaches out to me every week and that matters the most.
Kacey is very easy to talk to. I am so thankful I have been paired with someone who genuinely cares!
Kacey had been a great counselor. She is very easy to talk to and she actually cares about you and what’s going on. She would respond to my messages in a timely manner. Kacey helped me deal with some PTSD and triggering topics that have been going on for a year now and I can now say that with her help I can handle what comes my way through skills she has taught.
I appreciate Kacey very much. She has been so instrumental in helping with my anxiety and related issues. She is so helpful and you can tell she genuinely cares
Kacey is one of the most attentive and supportive therapists I've worked with. It is always a little hard trying to find a new therapist that is the best fit for you, and I was very lucky to work with Kacey. She not only pays attention but listens to the real issues, the ones that are often unsaid, left out, overlooked, or undiscovered. She has helped me coax my own answers out into the open and in turn, helped me grow.
I never honestly imagined therapy could not only be affordable but practical at the same time . Kacey understands me and is more then understanding when I’m struggling. She checks in on me when I need it most . I truly Believe Better help has helped me so so much . I’m so thankful for this platform
Dr Kacey is a wonderful Dr and very friendly and gentle spoken through the whole process. It’s a wonderful service and I greatly appreciate her time and respect of all my personal issues.
She has been wonderful
Kacey has helped me navigate what are turning out to be some of the strangest and most difficult times of my life, and I feel more capable as an individual thanks to the other resources she readily provides for me during this journey.
Kacey is so easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. She has helped me develop strategies and methods to handle my anxiety and thoughts and has emphasized getting to the root of what is causing my anxiety and working through those. Working with her has been so helpful to my mental health. I would highly recommend Kacey!
She’s great!
Kacey had such a big heart. You can really tell she has a genuine passion for helping people. She’s been a great support to me.
Kacey is an amazing counselor. She has helped me so much since we started together.
Kacey has had a tremendous positive impact on my life in even just a short period of time. She's helped me work on tools and strategies for dealing with problems that I had never considered or didn't have the ability to make happen on my own. I couldn't review her abilities more highly.
Kacey is awesome. So supportive and SO understanding!
Kacey has been amazing. She responds to my messages and journal entries, keeping in touch with me daily. She listens to my concerns and works to help me through each one. Her ability to stay connected with me, makes me feel like I can rely on her to help me with whatever I need, anytime I need it.

I was very hesitant about using this online platform for therapy, but Kacey has made the experience so comfortable and enjoyable. She is encouraging, understanding, and thought provoking. I would highly recommend her and can’t wait to continue to make progress with her help.
Kacey Ardoin fosters a safe space to be seen, heard and supported. Working with Kacey has allowed me to release my fear of judgement and sift through my troubles with patience and gentleness. All in all, my experience with Kacey has been renewing and affirming.
