About Lakisha
Lakisha Mark-McConnell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on feelings of isolation, questions about life purpose, self-love, and issues commonly affecting women. She offers virtual sessions and aims to create a supportive space where clients can begin to feel steadier.
Her approach centers on listening first and following the client’s lead.
Background and approach
She blends client-centered work with practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. That means sessions often include gentle reflection, skill-building for managing thoughts and emotions, and short exercises to try between meetings. Lakisha brings 11 years of experience to her practice.
She integrates spirituality with standard psychotherapy when that fits a client’s values, but she starts by asking what the person wants and needs. Her LPC credential is listed as GA LPC, and she practices from Georgia. In sessions she aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build on strengths they already have.
Therapy can focus on calming anxiety, processing past harm, setting boundaries, or finding clearer direction in life. Progress is usually practical and paced to what each person can handle. People connect with her for a warm, encouraging style and for concrete tools to manage daily stress.
To begin, clients choose a session format that fits their life and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports people as they name changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands, then suggest one or more ways to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another for fuller interaction, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or exchange brief updates without scheduling a full call. These formats help make consistent care easier to fit into a busy life.
