How her approaches translate to online work

Lakeithia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term goals, which can be easy to use between sessions. Acceptance and commitment therapy is another approach she uses to help people clarify values and take committed action even when feelings are difficult. ACT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are emphasized over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people use shorter or more frequent sessions when that suits recovery or work schedules.
