How Laketia Uses Focused Approaches Online

Many of her sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful ones; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-centered therapy is also part of her work and puts the person’s experience at the center so conversations follow the client’s concerns and pace. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help manage strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for a more traditional session with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has low bandwidth or wants a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to get brief support between sessions or to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
