Lakita Long, LPC

Lakita Long is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. She works with concerns related to trauma and abuse and supports people trying to rebuild confidence. Her approach is direct and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

With ten years of experience, Lakita adapts conversations and plans to each person she sees. She focuses on what is most useful right now, whether that means learning new strategies for sleep, calming techniques for anger, or ways to reduce anxiety in daily life. Sessions are practical and focused on small changes that add up.

She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and difficulty forgiving oneself, and she helps people practice self-love and better communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the work she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.

Lakita emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion during sessions. She aims to create a space where someone can talk through painful experiences at their own pace. Taking the first step can be hard, and she notes that signing up for therapy is a brave move.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The therapist will then work with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals and life.

How CBT and practical therapy work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and symptoms that follow trauma or abusive experiences.

Alongside CBT, the therapist uses brief, skills-focused work to help with anger, sleep, and everyday stress. This often means practicing breathing or sleep routines, trying small behavior changes, and checking what works in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to try first, based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This makes the work flexible and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. They also let someone use shorter check-ins when time is limited or choose quieter options when less bandwidth is needed.
