She also brings experience with relationship and communication problems and concerns linked to identity and discrimination. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Lakeisha uses techniques from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns and try small, testable changes.
She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce stress and EMDR for certain trauma-related issues when appropriate. Her coaching experience informs goal-setting and practical planning for careers and everyday routines. She helps parents and caregivers address caregiver stress and parenting strain through clear steps and pacing that fit daily life.
People who choose her work with someone who listens without judgment and offers concrete tools. She encourages short experiments between sessions so clients can see what helps. Lakeisha aims to build skills that carry forward after therapy ends.
Approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what the person says, helps clarify values, and supports self-directed goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with small, practical experiments to change mood and behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for some trauma-related memories and works by processing distressing memories in a structured way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk together about goals, symptoms, and preferences and pick or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is reviewed and new needs appear.
Online therapy gives practical options for receiving care. Video calls let people hold face-to-face conversations when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent continuity of care and flexible scheduling.
