How Laketia works
Laketia listens, asks practical questions, and helps people try out new habits that make daily life easier. She uses a mix of approaches that fit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts and actions.
Mindfulness exercises help slow things down and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused and Client-Centered methods keep the work goal-directed and based on what matters most to the person. Laketia also brings coaching-style support for career and life transitions.
She helps people notice patterns like self-sabotage or codependency and then practices alternatives that build confidence. Sessions aim to produce small, repeatable changes rather than one big fix. Her style is practical and patient.
She does not hand down answers; she works alongside people to test strategies and adjust them. Many clients leave sessions with clear next steps they can use between meetings.

Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people name what matters most so they can decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and practice different actions to change outcomes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting pulled into them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they choose methods to try, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed in future sessions. This keeps the work practical and tailored to real life challenges.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone sessions can be useful when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking.
