About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and holds an MS LCSW. She has five years of experience providing psychotherapy and counseling in Louisiana. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, grief, parenting pressures, and career-related stress.
Her approach is practical and straightforward.

Lakeithia pays attention to caregiving and aging concerns, including hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also addresses mood disorders, postpartum depression, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. For people feeling isolated or stuck, she offers ways to reframe events and reconnect with purposeful activity.
Therapy sessions include work on communication problems, commitment questions, forgiveness, and guilt or shame. She also supports those dealing with life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth or changes in work and family roles. Practical strategies and brief behavioral experiments are used to test what helps between sessions.
She conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the site.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. Sessions often include exercises to clarify values and small behavioral steps to follow those values in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and testing new behaviors. It tends to use short experiments and homework so progress can be tracked between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can sort their own thoughts and feelings. This approach supports people who need time to make sense of difficult events and decide on next steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Adjustments can be made as the work unfolds so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented. The original profile did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow people to continue care around work, caregiving, or travel. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match everyday routines.CAreas of focus
