About Lakeisha
Lakeisha McKnabb is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She listens without judgment and helps clients identify practical steps they can try right away. Her tone is direct and supportive, aimed at people who want clearer coping tools and steadier days.
With 18 years of experience, Lakeisha draws on straightforward methods that people can use between sessions. She sees patterns that keep problems in place and works with each person to build new habits.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses depression, addictions, workplace strain, and grief alongside anger and relationship struggles. She uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on the person’s goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving.
She also incorporates mindfulness and, when appropriate, EMDR and hypnotherapy tools to address trauma and intense emotional reactions. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-focused while still allowing space to process hard feelings. Lakeisha supports people who are juggling caregiving, workplace pressure, or recovery from traumatic events.
Her approach includes coaching elements for those wanting to advance their careers or life direction. Lakeisha practices in North Carolina as an LCMHC. She offers a blend of short-term skill work and longer-term support depending on what each person needs.
The aim is steady progress and clearer daily tools for handling anger and related concerns.

How her approaches translate to online care
Lakeisha commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses sessions on the person’s goals and strengths, letting the client guide what feels most important. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anger and anxiety. She may also draw on EMDR techniques for people processing trauma. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories through guided processing, and parts of it can be adapted for remote delivery when appropriate. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to fit each person’s needs and preferences. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.Questions people ask about Lakeisha
