Tikita Ficklin

Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings nine years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by anger, stress, or relationship strain. Tikita focuses on building confidence, improving self-esteem, and supporting people through grief, trauma, and parenting challenges.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. Her training also includes three years of doctoral-level study in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. Her academic background informs practical ways to work through hard moments.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That means she listens first, identifies what’s getting in the way, and helps set small, realistic steps toward change. The room is geared toward finding what works for the individual person.

Tikita places extra emphasis on forgiveness, discovering life purpose, and cultivating self-love. She encourages people to name their goals, try concrete strategies, and notice progress along the way. Her motto is simple: just trust the process.

People who come to her often want clear tools for managing anger, better ways to communicate, and stronger self-worth. Those who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented sessions that remain empathetic and respectful may find her style a good match.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means the therapist listens carefully and reflects what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It breaks down problems into small parts and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood because it gives step-by-step tools to practice.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan when needed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Many people appreciate shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or the option to meet without a commute. Confirm the current session options before booking to know whether phone or video visits are offered. The focus is on making work toward goals realistic and manageable within everyday routines.
