LaKesha Thomas , LCSW

LaKesha Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, and women’s issues. She supports people struggling with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and direct.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and real-life changes rather than jargon. Clients can expect a therapist who listens closely and helps set doable goals.

LaKesha uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice what matters most and take actions aligned with those values. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and build awareness.

Emotionally-focused work helps when relationships and family patterns are part of the struggle. That can include blended family issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, fertility and pregnancy-related topics, and family conflict. She integrates what fits each person’s situation.

With five years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she brings practical guidance and steady support. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. The focus is on helping people find clearer ways forward, one step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and move toward values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change feelings over time. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving even when schedules are tight.
