Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and focuses on practical care for common life struggles. She greets each person with dignity and respect and helps them take steps toward their goals.

She also addresses relationship and family issues, parenting and career challenges, and conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Her additional focuses include body image, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, and young adult issues.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy guides a respectful, collaborative atmosphere. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented and action driven.

Her background includes degrees from Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, and Loyola University of Chicago. She also has experience as a counselor supervisor and educator, which informs a structured and thoughtful way of working.

Lakitta aims to tailor her approach to each client. She encourages people to bring real-life problems and work together on doable steps. The tone in sessions is hopeful, steady, and focused on progress.

If someone is ready to begin, she asks for a willingness to try new steps and to work toward change. The first conversations focus on what matters most and on practical next steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It creates space for people to talk through what matters most and for the therapist to follow their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and building on strengths to create forward movement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lakitta will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a way of working. That plan can be adjusted as sessions continue so the approach fits real life and real progress.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. It also lets people try different ways of working and see which methods feel most helpful without changing their daily routine.
