About Lakeisha
Lakeisha McKnabb is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. She draws on 18 years of experience to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or life changes. She treats concerns like addictions, grief, relationship strain, and burnout in clear, practical ways.
She believes people hold strengths they can use to move forward. Sessions focus on the person’s goals and pace, not a one-size-fits-all plan. She helps clients name priorities and try small, manageable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Her approach blends talking work with hands-on strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the body and steady attention during tense moments.
When trauma is part of the story, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be offered alongside other methods to reduce intense reactions. Hypnotherapy may be introduced as an option for focused relaxation and shifting habits when appropriate. Lakeisha also offers coaching-style conversations for career and executive concerns.
These sessions emphasize decision making, communication, and planning for next steps. Her style is respectful, direct, and goal-oriented. People who choose her work with someone who listens first, then suggests practical tools.
She supports clients through everyday struggles such as panic attacks, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and managing ADHD symptoms. Sessions are offered in English in North Carolina.
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. Online sessions use conversation to build trust, clarify goals, and try small changes that fit daily life. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive place to talk through stress or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that increase anxiety and replace them with practical skills. In online sessions a therapist and client track patterns, set short experiments, and use worksheets or brief homework to practice between meetings. This method is useful for panic symptoms, worry, and mood shifts.
EMDR is an approach that can reduce strong reactions tied to trauma. When offered online it involves guided processing and techniques that help the nervous system settle over time. It is considered alongside other methods when trauma or post-traumatic stress is part of the concern.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted based on how each person responds so work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text let clients check in between sessions or have shorter focused conversations. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
