Tikita Ficklin, LPC

Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She has nine years of experience in counseling and draws on her educational background in human services and clinical mental health counseling to guide sessions. Tikita aims to help people build confidence, manage anger, and find direction after difficult experiences.

Tikita graduated from Mercer University with a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She also completed three years of doctoral coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. These studies inform her practical, goal-focused approach.

In sessions she listens first and tailors the plan to each person. Conversations focus on what matters now - easing anxiety, coping with grief, or rebuilding self-worth. She uses straightforward tools to help people notice patterns and try new responses in daily life.

Many people come for help with stress, relationships, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse. Tikita also supports those working through life purpose, forgiveness, or learning to value themselves more. Her style is encouraging and action-oriented while staying attentive to each person's pace.

Her stated motto is "Just trust the process." That reflects a belief in steady progress through small changes, repeated practice, and clear goals. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this practical, supportive approach fits their needs.

How client-centered and CBT tools translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and responding to each person's needs. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives short-term tools people can use between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a listening-focused Client-Centered approach and adding CBT techniques or motivational questions as needed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for regular check-ins around work or family obligations. They also allow therapists to share worksheets, practice skills between meetings, and adapt exercises to a person's daily routines. A collaborative plan is created so therapy fits into everyday life and supports steady progress.
