About Shamekias

Shamekias Lampkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who focuses on common concerns parents often face. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Shamekias encourages a strengths-based view and treats people as the experts of their own stories.

She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

Background and approach

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions often include clear tools to manage symptoms and short-term exercises to build confidence. Shamekias draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to help change unhelpful patterns.

She combines that with coaching-style support to keep progress focused and goal-oriented. Shamekias has 16 years of work experience. She emphasizes small, achievable steps so change does not feel overwhelming.

In sessions she listens for strengths clients already use, then builds on them with concrete strategies. That approach helps people handle day-to-day stress and relational strains at home. She practices in Mississippi and talks with clients in English.

Shamekias frames therapy as a partnership that asks for honest feedback and frequent check-ins on progress. Her aim is to empower people to feel more capable and less stuck in their current struggles. Her background as an LPC supports a combination of therapy and coaching, with a focus on actionable skills for parenting and family life.

Shamekias meets people where they are and helps them try new ways of coping and communicating.

Using CBT and coaching tools in online therapy

Shamekias often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT breaks down problems into clear parts and teaches practical exercises that reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and improve daily coping.

She also blends coaching-style support focused on setting small goals and tracking progress. That approach helps people stay motivated and try new habits between sessions. Together these methods target both symptoms and the everyday routines that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shamekias works with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so it stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier around family and work commitments and allow follow-up between sessions. They also let people access consistent support from Mississippi without travel, while keeping the work focused on practical steps and real-life changes.

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.
