About LaKesha
LaKesha Thomas is a licensed social worker in Florida who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with addictions, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She works to make the first step toward change feel manageable and humane.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. LaKesha creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what is hardest for them. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on methods that focus on values, present-moment awareness, and changing unhelpful thinking. She uses guided conversations and practical exercises to build skills people can use between sessions. Emphasis is placed on motivation and making choices that match personal priorities.
LaKesha has five years of professional experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. She has worked with a range of stressors and family-related concerns, including blended family issues, caregiver strain, and fatherhood challenges. She also supports people coping with fertility, pregnancy, and pregnancy loss related worries.
Clients often bring trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury effects. LaKesha brings a steady, patient style to those topics and to issues connected to HIV/AIDS and veteran and armed forces experiences. Her practice is oriented toward clear steps and steady progress.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided through online formats. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values. It often focuses on acceptance of difficult feelings and committed steps toward meaningful goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce unhelpful thinking and change patterns that maintain problems like stress and low mood.
These approaches are explored collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to identify which method or mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people connect face to face from wherever they are; phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option; live chat and text work well for short check-ins or when writing makes it easier to share. The range of formats makes it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
