About Lakedra
She uses a client-centered, solution-focused approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means sessions are geared toward identifying unhelpful thoughts and building realistic steps to change behavior. Lakedra emphasizes treating the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms, and she adapts work to fit a person’s identity, strengths, and values.
Lakedra brings a mix of counseling and coaching experience. Her background includes work as a life coach and as a biblical counselor, and she now practices as an LPC. Faith can be included when clients want it, but it is never required.
Typical concerns she helps people address include anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, workplace strain, and divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with attachment worries, abandonment issues, caregiving stress, guilt, and questions about life purpose.
Her sessions focus on clear goals and practical tools. Clients leave with steps they can use between meetings, such as thought-challenging skills, stress-management practices, and plans for everyday problems. Starting therapy is presented as a process of steady progress rather than a quick fix.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Many of the techniques Lakedra uses come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different actions to change feelings and behavior. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and workplace stress because sessions produce concrete tools people can practice between meetings.She also draws on solution-focused strategies that prioritize small, achievable steps toward a client’s goals. Those steps help with decision points like career changes, dealing with separation, or managing day-to-day stress. In practice this means setting short-term goals and checking progress each session.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, values, and life situation. Together they decide what to try, adjust methods over time, and track which strategies are most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during a workday. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to suit how someone prefers to work, making online care a flexible way to continue steady progress.
