About LaKesha
LaKesha Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, and changes in family life. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. LaKesha uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment concepts, mindfulness, and client-centered conversations. Clients can expect clear goals and conversational work rather than long theoretical lectures.
She pays attention to family dynamics and related concerns such as blended family issues, fatherhood matters, caregiver stress, and fertility or pregnancy-related difficulties. Other areas she addresses include HIV/AIDS, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury. The work often involves looking at patterns in everyday life and finding small changes that make routines more manageable.
In sessions she listens for what matters to each person and then helps set realistic steps forward. Techniques include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance strategies, and using mindfulness exercises to manage strong feelings. Meetings are aimed at clearer thinking and steadier coping in daily life.
People who choose her can expect practical planning, a focus on goals, and collaboration about what to try next. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, and addictions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as goals shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They can also let someone use mindfulness or behavioral exercises in the settings where problems occur. Ask about the specific session formats offered and how they match your schedule and needs.
