Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the main approaches she uses to reshape unhelpful thoughts and habits. Lakita adapts the conversation and plan to each person's needs. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and tries techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Forgiveness, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and communication issues are also common topics she addresses. The work tends to focus on clear, manageable goals like improving sleep, reducing panic, handling anger, or building self-love. Lakita emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room.
She encourages people to try one step at a time and notes that beginning therapy is a brave choice. Her background in Georgia and a decade of experience inform practical strategies rather than jargon. People can expect a steady, down-to-earth approach that aims to build skills they can use outside sessions.
Practical therapies and online options
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a core approach used here. It focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then testing and replacing them with more useful habits. This approach often helps with anxiety, sleep issues, anger, and low self-esteem.The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best fit. Conversations begin with your goals and concerns, and together you’ll try methods that match your needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as you see what helps and what doesn’t.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from home or another quiet place. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, written check-ins and tools that can fit into a busy day. These formats aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical for everyday life.
