About Tikita

She brings nine years of clinical experience and uses practical talk and active listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief.

Background and approach

Tikita also completed three years of doctoral study in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. Tikita holds the LPC credential and maintains licensure in Georgia. In sessions she mixes methods to match each person’s needs.

That can mean focusing on thought and behavior patterns, identifying practical next steps, or guiding a person toward clearer purpose and self-compassion. She uses tools from Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Solution-Focused ideas and Motivational Interviewing. Tikita often centers work on healing from past hurts, building self-love, and finding life purpose.

She encourages clients to notice small changes and try new behaviors between meetings. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented while keeping the client’s values in view. Parents who are worried about mood, family conflict, parenting strain, or past trauma will find an approachable clinician who prioritizes clear steps and honest conversation.

Tikita invites clients to move at their own pace while working toward tangible, everyday improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, creating room for people to voice what matters most and to set their own goals. It helps when someone needs empathy and clearer sense of their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Tikita approaches online work as a collaborative process. She will discuss different methods and help a client choose which approach fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to follow up between meetings. The variety of formats supports steady progress even when coming in-person is difficult, and it allows clients to use the mode that feels most comfortable for them.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
