About Laketia

Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She draws on twenty years of therapeutic and coaching experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship problems. She also addresses parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and career-related concerns.

The tone in sessions is practical and focused on what a person can do next. Laketia uses clear, hands-on methods. She looks at the thoughts and beliefs that get in the way of self-esteem and confidence.

Background and approach

She also identifies patterns that lead to self-sabotage at work, school, or in relationships. Sessions mix talk with behavioral steps you can try between meetings. Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

She adds mindfulness practices and motivational conversation when useful. These methods are used to set goals, change unhelpful habits, and build new coping skills. Laketia emphasizes partnership in the work.

She does not hand down answers but helps clients test ideas and find what fits their life. Progress is a series of small changes and experiments, not a single quick fix. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The practice is suited to people who want concrete steps and ongoing coaching alongside traditional therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the client steer the work. It supports people who need a trusting space to sort values and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that cause anxiety, low mood, or trouble at work and in relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and builds on what already works in a person’s life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match current goals, preferences, and needs. That collaborative stance means plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let conversations feel closer to an in-person visit, while phone sessions offer another option without video. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions and use brief, on-the-go support. These formats aim to provide flexibility and consistent access to care for people juggling work, family, or other commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
