About Laketia
Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, and ADHD. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Laketia uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She asks questions to discover the thoughts and habits that get in the way. Then she and the client try small, doable changes to shift those patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize real-life skill building more than labels or long lectures. She often works on self-esteem and confidence by looking at the beliefs that hold someone back. Laketia also addresses career and academic struggles and supports people facing major life changes.
People learn ways to manage anger, sleep problems, and stress so they can get through daily life more easily. The work is collaborative. Laketia says she does not hand down answers.
Instead she guides people as they test new ideas and learn what works for them. That approach helps clients take ownership of change and build tools that fit their lives. Therapy sessions may include mindfulness practices, behavioral exercises, goal-focused conversations, and problem-solving steps.
Her background in coaching and counseling shapes a practical style that aims for steady progress over time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space so people can explore their thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone needs empathy and practical feedback to sort through personal struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and managing stress with step-by-step techniques.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple breathing or awareness practices. It can reduce rumination and improve focus and emotional regulation in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean adapting techniques over time until a good fit is found.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or days when a quick message fits better into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice skills between sessions.
