About Laketia
Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and depression. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting strain, career setbacks, addictions, and sleep problems. Laketia also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and the fallout from life changes like divorce and separation.
She uses straightforward methods in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.
Background and approach
Laketia helps people spot patterns that lower self-esteem and fuel self-sabotage. Together clients set achievable steps toward clearer goals. Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies, mixed with client-centered listening and mindfulness exercises.
Sessions often include behavioral tools and brief coaching to practice between meetings. The work aims to build practical habits that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Over two decades she has guided people through complex concerns such as abandonment, attachment challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Her style is collaborative - she travels alongside each person rather than handing down a single answer. Laketia encourages active participation and real-world experiments to find what works. People seeking help can expect clear, goal-oriented conversations that balance insight with concrete steps.
She frames progress as a process shaped by beliefs, personality, and environment, and she supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating.

How her approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first with empathic listening and open questions to help people find their own answers. This approach supports anyone facing uncertainty, low self-esteem, or big life changes by focusing on what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions break problems into concrete pieces and teach skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple awareness practices to help people notice stress and choose calmer responses. These brief exercises can be used between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of methods is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then try techniques together and adjust as needed. This collaborative approach helps create a plan that feels practical and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when visual connection is not needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or a way to keep momentum between appointments. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice skills in daily life.
