Lanita Carter, LPC

Lanita Carter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with approximately five (5) years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are navigating depression, anxiety and other life challenges, offering attentive care and practical guidance tailored to each person's situation.

Lanita aims to create a trusting, authentic connection by meeting clients with encouragement, empathy and genuineness in a non-judgmental space. She emphasizes dignity and respect for each individual's story, and she works collaboratively to help clients feel less weighed down and better able to cope with change.

Her practice centers on building a supportive relationship in which clients and therapist work together to identify goals, learn new skills and foster emotional growth. Lanita believes that therapeutic progress emerges from a partnership that honors each person as unique and adapts interventions to fit their needs.

Although her main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured, evidence-based method that helps people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - she adapts techniques to match individual preferences and circumstances. Lanita invites clients to take the next step on their journey toward greater balance and resilience.

CBT and Adapted Evidence-Based Care for Online Sessions

Lanita primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, evidence-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions and can provide clear tools for day-to-day challenges.

In addition to CBT, Lanita applies other evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. These approaches are selected and adjusted to match the client’s needs and circumstances, with an emphasis on skill-building, emotional processing and gradual progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lanita works collaboratively with clients to explore what methods feel most helpful and to set goals that reflect their priorities. This partnership guides treatment choices and helps shape a plan that fits individual preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from home or elsewhere. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, effective care while accommodating scheduling and mobility needs.
