About J'Kea

Dr. J'Kea Starks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and works to create a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult emotions and build practical coping skills. Dr.

Starks emphasizes empowerment and motivation as part of the therapeutic process, encouraging steps toward greater well-being and confidence. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with a collaborative, client-centered stance.

Clients can expect interventions that draw on cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and motivational interviewing when those methods fit the presenting concerns. Areas of attention include relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction and process-related behaviours, ADHD, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and caregiver stress.

Dr. Starks aims to support personal growth by listening without judgment and tailoring treatment to each person’s goals and experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life



Dr. Starks often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and other symptoms. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skills practice. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help clients increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, grief, and emotional regulation.

Determining the most effective approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and earlier experiences with treatment, and together they will select or combine methods that feel most relevant and workable. This flexible planning helps tailor sessions to each person’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work despite geographic or time constraints and allow for ongoing communication between sessions when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to these remote formats so clients can practice skills in their everyday environment.
