About Lakisha
Lakisha Mark-McConnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on feelings of isolation, finding life purpose, building self-love, and women's issues. Lakisha offers virtual sessions so clients can meet from different locations.
She combines practical talk with space for personal beliefs to guide healing. Lakisha centers each session on the client's strengths and personal story.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Her work draws on client-centered methods that emphasize respect and empathy.
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques help reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. For people wrestling with trauma, Lakisha uses trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories in a careful way.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track progress. These approaches are mixed to suit the issue at hand. With 11 years of experience, Lakisha aims to create a hopeful space for change.
She helps people break down big problems into manageable steps. The overall goal is more calm, clearer choices, and a stronger sense of self.
Approaches that fit online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the client leads the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make personal decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and introduces concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Lakisha will work together with each person to find what fits best. She discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adjusts methods over time. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different techniques and track what helps.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from another location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
