About Laketia
Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, and career or life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical change.
With 20 years of experience, Laketia draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard as they work through painful topics. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolbox. Mindfulness helps people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity.
Solution-focused work keeps sessions goal-oriented and builds small steps that add up. Laketia emphasizes practical coaching alongside therapy. She helps clients spot self-sabotaging behaviors and replace them with habits that support school, work, and relationships.
She talks through concrete options rather than offering quick fixes. Clients can expect a collaborative process. The work looks at beliefs, personality, and environment to find what fits each person.
Laketia travels alongside clients as they test new ideas and methods to overcome difficult situations.
Practical approaches for online change
Client-centered therapy begins with attentive listening and guiding people to set their own goals. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to build solutions that fit their values and personality.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on finding the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses experiments and small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood problems.
Mindfulness work trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments. It supports people coping with trauma, stress, and ongoing worry by helping them notice patterns before they act.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are practical for quick check-ins, short coaching moments, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into school, work, and family life.
