About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Louisiana with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and questions about life purpose. Sessions address mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and postpartum depression, and concerns like compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
Clayton focuses on practical conversation and problem solving. She listens for recurring patterns in thoughts and behavior. From there she helps people try new ways of coping and deciding what matters next in work, relationships, or caregiving roles.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other methods. That means sessions may include looking at unhelpful thinking, clarifying values, and using personal stories to reframe struggles. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform the work when someone needs clearer goals or a new personal narrative.
People meet to talk through where they feel stuck, test small changes, and track what works. Clayton also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, hospice or end-of-life counseling, and the emotional impact of major life changes. She aims to help clients find steadier ways to cope and make decisions after transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the directory's process to schedule a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can aid those wrestling with life purpose, role changes, or chronic worry by focusing on what matters next rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to test unhelpful beliefs and practice alternative responses in everyday situations.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so someone can clarify needs and goals. It supports people making decisions about relationships, parenting, work, or caregiving by encouraging self-directed problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine techniques over time as priorities change.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can attend from a wider range of locations. These practical benefits often help therapy stay consistent while clients explore next steps in their life.
