About Lakesha
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and nonjudgmental. Lakesha creates a space where people can say what they think and feel. She does not use a single fixed method; instead she and the client choose approaches that fit the person and the problem.
In practice she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness tools. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and simple exercises to calm the mind. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing when those tools seem useful.
Lakesha brings three years of professional experience to sessions and holds an LPC credential. Her background includes supporting people through family conflict, life transitions, and concerns about intimacy, body image, or addiction. She works in a direct and compassionate way, helping clients set realistic goals and try new strategies between sessions.
If someone wants to start, Lakesha guides them through a short intake so they can begin building practical plans for change. Her approach is collaborative and focused on everyday steps that fit a person’s life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely and helping the person set their own goals, which is useful for relationship concerns, family conflict, and feelings like jealousy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It introduces simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These skills can be helpful when impulsivity, anger, or relationship stress is a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
