Laketia Carrell , LPC

Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with twenty years of combined therapeutic and mental health coaching experience. She supports individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family and relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, addictions, bipolar disorder, sleep and anger issues, career struggles, and related areas such as codependency, abandonment, and attachment difficulties.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, and behavioral interventions to help clients examine the thoughts and beliefs that erode self-esteem and confidence. In collaboration with each person, she identifies self-sabotaging patterns and behaviors that interfere with academic or professional success and strain interpersonal relationships.

Carrell emphasizes a collaborative journey rather than handing down a single solution. She helps clients explore new ideas and practical methods tailored to their beliefs, personality, and environment, so they can find approaches that fit their lives. Her practice focuses on building skills and insights clients can apply between sessions to move toward clearer goals and greater resilience.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and experience, offering a supportive environment where the therapist listens and helps the individual clarify values and build self-trust - it is especially useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping with stressful situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can reduce reactivity and support stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Laketia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit each situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are - sessions can take place via video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work.
