About Lakira

Lakira Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia State University and a Master of Social Work from Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work, and she uses that foundation to support individuals and families facing a range of life challenges.

She began her career providing counseling for youth in foster care, as well as foster parents and birth parents engaged in reunification efforts. Over the years she has worked with young mothers, people managing addiction, and adolescents with behavioral and mental health concerns. Her practice has addressed trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, family relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, and other complex concerns.

Lakira’s style is warm and interactive, rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She is knowledgeable about cultural diversity and considers how cultural factors can influence treatment. Her clinical approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic insights, and client-centered methods to create individualized treatment plans that reflect each person’s unique needs.

As a licensed clinician, she focuses on empowering people with practical tools and strategies to reach their goals and improve daily functioning. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring conversations and interventions to support clients as they work toward greater well-being and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work - it helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, values, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and values-based action to help people accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful life changes - it can support coping with chronic stress, grief, and life transitions.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lakira collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these models to suit individual circumstances, working together with clients to build a plan that feels workable and relevant.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to connect in the ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. For many, remote sessions make it easier to maintain consistency, balance responsibilities, and access licensed professionals and therapists from where they are located.
