About Tikita
Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns. Tikita also focuses on forgiveness, finding life purpose, and building self-love.
She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) from Mercer University. She also completed three years of doctoral study in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. Tikita draws on this background when planning sessions and setting goals with clients.
Her approach is practical and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. She also uses client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused conversations to help people set short-term goals and notice progress.
Sessions are aimed at helping people make changes they can apply between meetings. Tikita talks through patterns, helps people try alternative behaviors, and tracks what works. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients pick small, actionable steps.
People who prefer structured sessions that combine thought-work with goal-setting often find this approach useful. Before a first session she asks about current concerns and what the person hopes to change, so the work starts with clear priorities.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist pays attention to what the client says, asks clarifying questions, and supports the client in naming priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses short exercises and behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding to stressful situations. Motivational Interviewing helps people identify their own reasons for change and strengthens motivation through focused conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tikita will discuss the methods she uses and will help clients choose what fits their goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adapts sessions based on feedback and progress.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know whether video or other formats are available. Online work still emphasizes concrete tasks, thought exercises, and brief goal-setting that can be practiced between meetings.
