About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and life transitions. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives.
Her approach centers on listening first. She helps people name what feels hard, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, practicing new skills, and checking what works in real life. Clayton uses a mix of methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs and preferences rather than following a single script.
Meetings are paced to match what someone can manage between appointments. People seek her help for a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, caregiving strain, postpartum mood concerns, relationship and communication problems, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people facing aging or end-of-life related stressors. Sessions can be delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Clayton prefers a collaborative style where people set the focus and the therapist offers tools and feedback.
The aim is steady progress through doable steps that fit into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can relieve anxiety and meaninglessness.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what they hear, and helps the person clarify goals and make choices that feel right for them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions often include trying different ways of thinking and simple behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. It is common to combine elements from different approaches and adjust over time.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
