LaKesha Thomas, LCSW

LaKesha Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and low self-esteem. She supports clients facing family problems, caregiver strain, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, pregnancy and childbirth issues, fertility matters, and traumatic brain injury related challenges.

Her approach is calm and conversational. She aims to make sessions a place where people can speak honestly without judgment. The first step is simply talking about what feels hard and what the person hopes will change.

LaKesha uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also draws on Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to build understanding in the room. Mindfulness practices are offered when helpful to ease stress and ground attention.

With five years of experience and a Florida LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), she brings direct, down-to-earth support. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. LaKesha works with each person to find approaches that feel useful and realistic.

People who reach out typically want help with relationships, parenting or fatherhood concerns, coping after trauma, or adjusting to medical and life transitions. She welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into a person’s routine and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting after injury or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. CBT is often used for stress, low mood, and coping with daily challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and clarify goals.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That collaboration helps find tools that feel practical and relevant rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and ACT or CBT tools between meetings to build steady progress.
