Lakitta Johnson

Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and other life challenges. Her work centers on practical steps people can use day to day.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including client-centered work that listens closely to each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term, achievable goals that move people forward.

Her background includes degrees from Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, and Loyola University of Chicago. She has served as a counselor, a counselor supervisor, and an educator. Those roles inform how she structures sessions and supports steady progress.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to be straightforward. Lakitta talks through practical strategies for coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and issues like ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, workplace challenges, and multicultural concerns.

If someone is ready to start, she asks for a clear description of the problem and works with them to set short-term goals. Her approach emphasizes respect, hope, and steady effort rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies goals, and helps them feel heard while deciding what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps toward clear goals. It is useful when someone wants quick ways to move past a blockage and measure progress week to week.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made so the work stays useful.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. The focus stays on practical coping tools and goal progress rather than on any single delivery method.
