About Lakeisha

Lakeisha McKnabb is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of life challenges, including ADHD among other concerns.

Background and approach

She brings 18 years of professional experience to sessions and emphasizes clients' strengths and personal expertise when working toward change. Her approach values collaboration and recognizes that choosing to pursue therapy is a courageous step toward greater well-being.

Lakeisha combines practical strategies with reflective support, drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and EMDR when appropriate. She also integrates career and executive coaching skills for clients seeking growth in work or leadership roles.

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, addiction recovery, grief, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Clients can expect a respectful, person-focused style that centers their goals and preferences.

Lakeisha aims to tailor interventions to each individual, helping them build coping skills, improve communication, and create actionable plans for lasting change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Lakeisha often blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior and then build practical skills for change. CBT in this context focuses on clear, goal-oriented exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate, a trauma-informed approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Mindfulness-based practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and support stress reduction and emotional regulation across many concerns.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

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 easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills in daily life, and access support from North Carolina without needing to travel.
