About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing grief, parenting challenges, career shifts, and mood-related conditions such as bipolar disorder.
Clayton uses practical, conversational methods to help people name what feels hard and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
How Lakeithia works
Sessions tend to be collaborative and grounded in the client’s goals. She draws on tools that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, commit to values-based actions, and tell their stories in clearer ways. Clients can expect straightforward work on skills and choices.
Clayton mixes techniques that challenge thought patterns with approaches that center the person’s own perspective and strengths. She also uses motivational techniques to help when making difficult decisions or handling big life changes. Her focus areas include caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life issues, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses family problems, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

Online support options
How certain approaches translate to online therapy
The therapist often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on actions that align with personal goals and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own perspective and strengths. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client to find their own solutions for relationship troubles, self-esteem, and grief.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thought patterns. CBT supplies concrete exercises and homework that people can try between sessions to reduce worry and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapt methods so they fit each person. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust them over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between meetings, track progress, and get support that fits a busy schedule.
