About Lanita
Lanita spends sessions listening first, then working with each person to set small, achievable goals. She emphasizes collaboration and clear communication so clients know what to expect. Progress is approached as a series of manageable steps rather than a single quick fix.
Her main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and how changing them can reduce distress. She adapts that framework to fit each person's story, shifting tactics when something isn't helping. The work is practical and focused on skills that can be used between sessions.
Lanita has five years of experience as an LPC in Connecticut. She treats people with respect and focuses on creating a space where they can talk through hard emotions and learn new ways to cope. Her aim is steady progress and clearer ways to handle stressful situations.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Lanita primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce stress and mood problems. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes because it focuses on clear skills and homework between sessions.She also draws on evidence-based techniques that address trauma and grief by teaching grounding and emotion-regulation skills. These approaches aim to help someone tolerate strong feelings, manage reactions, and move forward at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lanita will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adapts plans if something is not working. The decision about techniques is collaborative and revisited as progress happens.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find virtual sessions help them practice skills in everyday settings while still keeping therapy focused and goal-oriented.
