About Lakitta
Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience in mental health. She practices from Mississippi and offers remote services to people who need flexible therapy options. Lakitta focuses on helping individuals manage common life struggles and emotional pain.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings for 23 years. That background shaped a practical style - clear goals, steady support, and straightforward tools to use between sessions.
Background and approach
Education includes degrees from Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, and Loyola University of Chicago. In sessions she listens first and adapts her approach to what helps most. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person's lead and build on strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Solution-focused techniques are woven in to set short-term goals and track progress. Lakitta works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship tension, grief, addiction concerns, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and related issues.
She also addresses body image, caregiver strain, workplace stress, and multicultural concerns. Her style is respectful and goal-oriented. Sessions aim to be a mix of listening, practical problem solving, and skill practice.
Lakitta supports people who want concrete strategies and compassionate guidance as they make changes.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client identify strengths and choices for change. This approach supports people who need validation and a respectful space to sort out feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching concrete techniques to change thinking patterns and reactions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, measurable steps toward a preferred future. It helps when someone wants quick, practical goals and tools to move forward between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experiences, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on feedback and progress.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone needs a flexible option during the day. These formats increase access and let people keep momentum on their goals.
