Background and approach
Tikita takes a straightforward, person-centered approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify practical steps to feel less overwhelmed. Sessions often include goal setting, skill building, and short-term problem solving tailored to each person.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem. She also offers support around forgiveness, discovering life purpose, and building self-love. Tikita blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.
Those tools are used to help people challenge unhelpful thoughts, find motivation for change, and create doable plans for everyday life. Her style is encouraging and goal-oriented. She invites people to trust the process and to take small steps toward greater emotional balance and clearer direction.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is starting from. The therapist offers empathy and helps people find their own solutions, which is useful for building self-esteem and clarifying life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tikita will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process allows adjustments as a person learns what helps most.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging can help with brief reflections or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
