About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her work also covers parenting concerns, grief, career challenges, and mood disorders such as bipolar.
Lakeithia speaks English and uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Her approach is collaborative and practical. She listens first, then helps people name the problems that matter most.
Background and approach
Together they set small, doable goals and try new ways of coping. This can mean changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new communication habits, or identifying values that guide decisions. Lakeithia draws from several evidence-informed approaches.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while focusing on meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps examine thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Client-centered methods keep the person’s experience central and guide pacing.
She also brings tools from motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when they fit a person’s goals. Those methods can help with readiness for change and reworking the stories people tell about themselves. Lakeithia adapts techniques to the situation rather than following a single method.
Sessions can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time that fits. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People considering therapy can expect clear, everyday language and step-by-step support for practical change.

Online support
Online approaches that fit your life
Lakeithia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help when someone wants clearer direction during life changes or chronic stress. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or low mood active and teaches practical experiments to change them.She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on understanding your goals and trying approaches that match what you want. If a method does not fit, she will work with you to shift strategies so the work feels practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see nonverbal cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text is useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into work, caregiving, or busy days.
