About Lakitta
Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings and supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related issues. She helps people deal with everyday struggles and big transitions.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Lakitta adapts her style to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
Her training and work history include roles as a counselor, counselor supervisor, and educator. That background informs a calm, steady approach that balances teaching skills with listening. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered care to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
Lakitta often uses solution-focused techniques to help people identify small changes that move them forward. Conversations are meant to be direct and respectful, with an emphasis on building skills for managing mood, stress, anger, and difficult life events.
She is especially attentive to concerns such as relationships, parenting stress, workplace pressures, issues connected to family of origin, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. Lakitta encourages realistic steps and gradual progress, and she works collaboratively with each person to set achievable goals and track improvement.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, respect, and helping people find their own answers; it can be useful for self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and problems with stress or anger.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that lead to measurable progress. It works well when someone wants to set short-term goals and build momentum quickly.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a plan. That plan can change over time based on progress and new needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
