Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete skills you can use between meetings to feel more in control. Lakita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. She tailors conversations and plans to each person, adjusting pace and focus to fit individual needs.
The goal is practical change, not jargon. People can expect a calm, matter-of-fact tone and a focus on respect and sensitivity. Lakita encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and to notice what helps.
She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and supports each person through the first steps. Her practice combines clear tools with steady emotional support. Over time clients often report improved sleep, better anger management, and more confidence in daily life.
Lakita aims to help people build skills that last beyond therapy.
How CBT and online sessions can help with anxiety and stress
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to see what changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and anger because it gives clear steps to practice outside sessions.Therapy also centers on short, goal-focused exercises that build new habits. Sessions may include simple experiments, breathing or sleep routines, and thought-record techniques to reduce worry and improve mood. The therapist will tailor these tools to each person's needs and update them as progress is made.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and changing the plan together when needed.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video mimics face-to-face conversations, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options provide flexibility and let people keep therapy going from different locations and routines.
