About Laketia
Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and work through problems like depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and substance-related issues. She uses down-to-earth language and a practical approach to help clients make changes that matter in daily life.
With twenty years of experience, Laketia combines several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts that hold someone back.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on the person's goals. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are added when helpful to build concrete skills and short-term plans. Sessions often center on finding patterns that lead to low self-esteem, procrastination, or conflict.
Laketia helps people spot self-sabotaging behaviors and try small, testable changes. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. Her style is collaborative rather than directive.
She will not simply hand down answers. Instead she walks alongside clients, offering new ways to think and practical exercises to try between sessions. Those who prefer coaching and structured goal work will find tools and feedback to measure progress.
Laketia works with people in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. She uses a mix of conversation, behavioral exercises, and mindful practices to help clients move toward clearer decisions and steadier daily routines.
Approach, Collaboration, and Flexible Online Care
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals at the center of every session. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns back, and follows the client's lead to build trust and focus on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that interfere with work or relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right combination of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try small experiments, and adjust the plan based on what works in real life. This collaborative way helps people learn skills that can be used between sessions.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation from another location. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or consistent coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use the tools learned in day-to-day situations.
