Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Lakisha Mark-McConnell utilizes client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and builds momentum for change by focusing on their strengths and values.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers actionable tools to address patterns related to anxiety, depression, and stress so clients can develop coping strategies and make measurable progress.

Mindfulness therapy is integrated when helpful, teaching present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lakisha works with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Lakisha offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reach support from home, and maintain continuity of treatment despite geographic or time constraints.
