About Lakita
Lakita Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, sleep problems, or the effects of trauma and abuse. Lakita aims to make the first step feel doable and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.
How Lakita works
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps so people can see progress between meetings. Lakita also addresses related concerns like communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and building self-love and confidence. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
This means goals, homework, and pacing are shaped around what a client actually needs. Her style is respectful and compassionate, with attention to sensitivity and real-world results. She works with people to develop skills for managing emotions, improving sleep, and responding to triggers more effectively.
Therapy with Lakita often involves practice outside sessions, such as thought records or behavior experiments, so skills transfer to daily life. Her Georgia licensure and decade of work give a foundation for steady, skills-based care.

CBT and Online Options for Everyday Challenges
CBT helps people spot thoughts that make stress and anxiety worse. It breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tests new ways of thinking to change how someone feels and behaves. This method is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, sleeping problems, and trauma-related responses.In sessions she focuses on clear, teachable skills like thought records, behavior experiments, and sleep routines. Those techniques give simple steps to practice between meetings so progress continues outside sessions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful and adjust the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use a full session format. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, short updates, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep working on goals between appointments.
