About Lakitta
Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience. She practices from Mississippi and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. Lakitta focuses on practical help for everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and addiction.
She uses plain, goal-oriented methods in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings. Lakitta shapes each plan to the person sitting across from her rather than using a single rigid method.
Background and approach
Her training and work history include roles as a counselor, counselor supervisor, and educator. She earned degrees from Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, and Loyola University of Chicago, and she holds the LPC credential. That background informs how she helps people handle mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or parenting strain.
Lakitta often draws on cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies along with client-centered listening. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and naming useful short-term goals. Sessions also include space to talk through values, identity, and multicultural concerns.
People who come to her usually want a respectful, straightforward approach. She emphasizes hope, effort, and practical steps. Those looking for support with anger management, career concerns, body image, or young adult issues may find her style especially useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy in her work means she listens closely and follows the person's lead so goals come from the client's own priorities. This helps when someone needs empathy, validation, and a space to sort feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online sessions can include working through those thought patterns, setting homework, and checking progress each week to manage anxiety, depression, anger, or mood issues.
Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on short-term, practical goals. Sessions look for what is already working, then build simple steps to move forward and measure small wins.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to pick or blend methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions that need face-to-face conversation, while phone can be a flexible option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and stay consistent with therapeutic work.
