About Lucretia

Lucretia Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people facing issues around self-esteem, grief, parenting, ADHD, and LGBT concerns. Her work aims to be straightforward and practical for those who want clear steps forward.

Reed trained at Prairie View A&M University and has been practicing for 18 years. She has experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults from diverse backgrounds. That includes work with people from foster care, transitional living programs, at-risk youth, and survivors of domestic violence.

Her style is warm and direct. She listens without judgment and gives honest feedback. At the same time she holds people accountable for the changes they want to make.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. Those approaches are used to build better coping skills, reduce reactivity, and work toward specific goals.

People who come to her for help can expect a blend of empathy and practical exercises. She often uses creative methods when they fit, and focuses on building a trusting alliance so progress is possible. When someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the next steps toward scheduling and care.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a strong working relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide on their goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made along the way so sessions remain useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when travel or work gets in the way. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and to use short check-ins when needed. Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
