Lakita Long

Lakita Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, sleep problems, trauma and issues with self-esteem. Her style is respectful and straightforward, and she aims to make beginning therapy feel doable for someone taking that first step.

She uses practical conversations to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on goals the client can notice in daily life, such as sleeping better, calming down in tense moments, or building confidence. Lakita adapts the pace and tools to match the person in front of her rather than following a rigid plan.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. That method often includes trying small, doable changes between sessions and testing what helps in real situations. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.

Lakita also pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and the struggle to forgive. She helps people talk through communication problems and social anxiety in day-to-day situations. The aim is to find clearer choices and fewer moments that feel overwhelming.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Lakita customizes conversations and practical steps to fit each person’s needs. If someone is ready to begin, she encourages taking the next step toward scheduling a session.

How Lakita uses CBT online and what to expect

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change patterns of thinking that lead to anxiety, anger, or low mood. It often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them in real situations, and trying small behavioral experiments to see what improves daily life.

In sessions that emphasize sleep or anger, this approach can include practical strategies such as adjusting routines, learning calming skills, and planning quick steps to reduce reactivity. For trauma-related concerns, CBT techniques focus on skills to manage strong emotional reactions and regain control over everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means talking together about what feels useful and adjusting techniques over time rather than following a fixed script.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can still use CBT tools effectively across different formats, and Lakita will help tailor the work to what fits the clients routine and needs.
