About Lakisha
Lakisha Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of practice in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship strain. Her approach aims to strengthen self-esteem and support steady personal growth.
She creates a warm, culturally responsive space where people can talk through hard moments. Sessions concentrate on concrete steps, not just talk, so clients leave with practical ideas to try between meetings.
How Lakisha works
She pays attention to how isolation and social anxiety affect day-to-day life and communication. Her work often addresses guilt, shame, and the challenge of forgiving oneself or others. She also helps people reconnect with a sense of life purpose and build habits of self-love.
Communication problems are approached with tools to express needs more clearly and repair strained interactions. Lakisha takes a collaborative, strength-based stance in session. That means she helps clients notice what already works and builds from there.
Over time she supports people in developing healthier coping skills and greater emotional resilience. People meet Lakisha to find steady, empathic guidance through hard emotions and life transitions. She aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her, honoring their background and individual goals.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building skills. One common focus is teaching practical coping strategies for managing anxiety and panic symptoms; these techniques break down overwhelming moments into steps you can practice and repeat. Another common emphasis is working through trauma and painful memories by developing safety and pacing, then building skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and pace. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, phone can be simpler and use less bandwidth, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when typing is easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep momentum between appointments, and use formats that feel most comfortable.
