About Lakitta
Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She practices from Mississippi and brings decades of work in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. Her style is practical and respectful, and she focuses on what each person needs in the moment.
She offers straightforward support for concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood issues, and challenges with self-esteem or intimacy.
How Lakitta works
She also helps with career stress, parenting strain, body image concerns, and multicultural issues. Sessions center on clear goals and realistic steps that fit daily life. Lakitta uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s experience central and to build trust.
She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people map small, achievable changes and track progress. Her background includes roles as a counselor, counselor supervisor, and educator, and she trained at Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, and Loyola University of Chicago.
She draws on that clinical experience to shape individualized plans rather than a one-size-fits-all method. People who prefer direct guidance and practical tools find her approach useful. She works with gentle firmness when needed, offering both validation and strategies to move forward.
Lakitta aims to help clients build skills they can use long after sessions end.

Online support options
Approaches You Can Try Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation. It helps people who need acceptance and clarity about their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.Finding the right method is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which approach to try first. Sessions can shift over time if one method isn’t producing the hoped-for progress, and adjustments are made together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow a face-to-face feel for longer conversations. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone needs flexible, ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
