Laketia Carrell , LPC

Laketia Carrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with twenty years of experience in therapy and mental health coaching. She works with individuals facing anxiety and depression, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family concerns, addictions, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and the range of challenges that can affect self-esteem, sleep, anger, and career functioning. Her practice also addresses adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and other complex life circumstances.

Laketia uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and behavioral interventions to help clients identify the thoughts and beliefs that lower self-confidence and trigger self-sabotaging patterns. She helps uncover the ideas and behaviors that undermine academic or professional success and that strain interpersonal relationships, guiding clients to practical strategies and behavioral changes.

Rather than handing down single answers, Laketia takes a collaborative approach - traveling alongside each person to explore options, test new methods, and build solutions that fit the client’s personality, values, and environment. Her work emphasizes growth, resilience, and skills that support lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions - it is helpful for strengthening self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques that can support coping with trauma, chronic stress, and emotional reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laketia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so treatment remains tailored and practical.

Online therapy with a licensed professional allows work to continue from wherever is most convenient - by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier and maintain continuity when life gets busy. These formats support flexibility and accessibility while enabling therapists and clients to focus on skills, insights, and real-world problem solving together.
