About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, grief, parenting, career questions, and mood disorders. She also lists support for caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, postpartum concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her work style is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and practicing new ways to respond.
She often helps people who are adjusting to life changes, dealing with loss, managing chronic stress, or facing questions about purpose and meaning. For mood disorders and bipolar concerns she focuses on symptom management and everyday strategies rather than diagnostic claims. Parenting and family topics are approached with specific skills for communication and boundaries.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She and the client set practical steps to test between-session changes and track progress. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help clarifying goals or building momentum.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Information about scheduling and the session process is provided through the online booking flow and matching questionnaire.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lakeithia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. ACT emphasizes noticing values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking actions that align with what matters most.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective and Motivational Interviewing when people need help clarifying goals and building momentum for change. Together these approaches give a mix of skills practice, values-based planning, and collaborative goal-setting so the client and therapist can decide what fits best.
