About Lakisha
Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, parenting concerns, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD. Her style is warm and person-centered, with a straightforward, respectful approach that aims to meet people where they are.
She uses practical techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Background and approach
Sessions typically include gentle listening, goal setting, and skills practice for managing emotions and daily challenges. Lakisha blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Lakisha has worked in a range of settings including nonprofit organizations, schools, correctional facilities, and independent practice.
That variety shaped her ability to adapt strategies for different life situations and cultural backgrounds. She holds an LPC for South Carolina and an LMHC for Florida. Her approach is collaborative and direct.
She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and teaches coping skills they can use between sessions. Many clients focus on improving communication, handling impulsivity, reducing overwhelming feelings, and building healthier routines. She offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients feel heard and respected; it helps people clarify goals and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are encouraged to give feedback about what feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick skills practice, ongoing check-ins, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines while using the therapist's preferred approaches.
