About Lakitta

Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience across inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. She draws on a long clinical history to support people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and a wide range of life adjustments.

Background and approach

Her background as a counselor, supervisor, and educator informs a practical, strengths-based approach to care. Johnson blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques, tailoring methods to each person's needs rather than using a single fixed model.

She aims to help clients build coping skills, improve self-esteem, navigate relationship and family concerns, and address workplace or caregiver stress. Her practice emphasizes respect, dignity, and collaborative goal-setting, encouraging measurable steps toward change while honoring each person’s values and cultural context.

Based in Mississippi, she offers distance professional services to reach people who prefer remote options. Prospective clients can expect clear communication about goals, structured strategies when useful, and a flexible, supportive stance that centers the client's priorities and capacity for growth.

How these approaches inform online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship; in an online setting this means the therapist focuses on listening, reflecting, and tailoring the pace of work to what the client finds most helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which translates well to remote work through structured exercises, homework, and skill practice between sessions. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on clear goals and small, practical changes, helping clients track progress and apply what works in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens together with the therapist. She will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, creating a cooperative plan rather than imposing a single modality.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, allow for varied ways of communicating as comfort and needs change, and support consistent progress through convenient access to licensed professionals.
