Tikita Ficklin, LPC

Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) from Mercer University. Tikita draws on a range of practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression, and parenting challenges.

She aims to help people clarify their values and life purpose while working through past hurts. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. Tikita combines listening with skill-building so clients leave with specific tools they can use between visits.

Her work often centers on cognitive behavioral techniques that link thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses client-centered methods to create a respectful space where people set the pace and priorities. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are added when someone wants to build momentum toward change.

Tikita emphasizes practical skills for everyday life: managing anger, improving relationships, grieving losses, and rebuilding self-love. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable tasks and track progress over time.

People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented style are likely to find this approach helpful. Tikita encourages patience and steady effort, summed up in her motto: just trust the process. Sessions are offered in English for people located in Georgia.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Tikita uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that affect mood and behavior; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Client-centered therapy is another thread in her work, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets goals and pace and feels heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That might mean focusing on skills practice one week and values clarification the next, based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is good for longer conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections or reminders between sessions. These options make it simpler to attend regularly and to keep progress moving forward.
