The credential LCMHC indicates she is a licensed clinical mental health counselor, trained to assess and treat emotional and behavioral concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lakeisha uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, validating strengths, and helping people clarify their own goals and values. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. For clients who have experienced traumatic events, EMDR can be used to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories by processing them in a structured way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lakeisha collaborates with each client to determine what techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine methods over time and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home, balance therapy with work or family responsibilities, and continue consistent support when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, goal-focused work through these modalities while tailoring interactions to each client’s preferred style.
