01About Lakitta
Lakitta Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience in Mississippi. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings and now offers distance services. She aims to help people facing common life struggles by creating a respectful, practical space to talk and plan next steps.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused sessions that address problems like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and stress. Johnson blends talk therapy with practical tools so people leave sessions with clear ideas to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, and bipolar symptoms. Her background includes degrees from Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, and Loyola University of Chicago. She also has experience supervising other counselors and teaching in clinical settings.
That mix of clinical and educational work informs a calm, experienced presence in sessions. Johnson uses approaches that center the person and their goals. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions.
That means listening first, then recommending small steps and thought-focused techniques to shift patterns that create distress. She works with a wide range of life concerns including relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, career pressure, body image, caregiver strain, multicultural issues, and loneliness. Her style is collaborative and practical, focused on helping people find manageable ways forward.
People who want clear, respectful guidance and tools they can use between sessions may find her approach a good match. Johnson encourages hope, effort, and gradual change as the path toward better days.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of sessions, focusing on listening and understanding. Online, that means sessions begin with where the person is and build goals from their values and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In virtual sessions, the therapist and client work together to identify patterns and practice new skills between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what is already working; it is useful for quickly moving toward specific goals.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss preferences, needs, and short-term goals, then suggest approaches to try. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so the work matches the client's pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and observing reactions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when sitting for a long video call is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging works for quick check-ins, keeping progress visible, and for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue care when in-person visits are not possible.
