About Laketia
Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. She brings 20 years of counseling and mental health coaching experience to each session. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, focused on what will work in daily life.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to identify unhelpful thoughts and set clear, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Client-centered methods guide the pace, so each person shapes goals that fit their values and situation. Mindfulness and behavioral tools are added when they suit a person's needs. In sessions she looks at beliefs and behaviors that get in the way of confidence and progress.
That can include patterns like self-sabotage, codependency, poor communication, or difficulty coping with life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, chronic stress, caregiving strain, and challenges tied to adoption or abandonment experiences. Laketia emphasizes collaboration.
She does not hand down a one-size-fits-all answer. Instead she works alongside clients to test strategies and refine what helps. Over time the focus is on building new skills that make daily routines, work, and relationships easier to manage.
People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented sessions often find her approach useful. Sessions are offered in English and delivered using a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approach-driven care available online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work and lets their goals guide each session; this approach helps when someone needs support that respects their values and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that cause distress and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce rumination and improve focus over time by helping people notice thoughts without immediately reacting.Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person's situation. If one technique does not fit, they will adjust the plan and try alternatives so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep progress moving between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, school, or caregiving duties while still using the therapist's client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness tools.
