About Lakisha
Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She is licensed as an LPC in South Carolina and as an LMHC in Florida. She works with adults who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, anger, ADHD, bipolar-related issues, and parenting or relationship questions.
Her background includes work in non-profit organizations, schools, correctional settings, and private practice. Those settings shaped how she meets people who are under pressure or facing big changes. She has provided both in-person and telehealth services during her career.
Lakisha uses a client-centered approach in sessions. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are other tools she draws on when helpful.
She also works with concerns linked to attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, communication problems, control issues, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions. Her experience includes supporting people with veteran and multicultural concerns.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Lakisha aims to build straightforward plans, practice new skills in session, and check progress over time. To start, she asks about the specific problem and what the person hopes to change, then they pick a way forward together.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Many online sessions draw on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the individual, using listening and reflective conversation to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through small experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and issues shift over time.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Depending on the therapist's current service options, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, use short interim appointments, and practice skills between meetings so therapeutic work fits into everyday life rather than adding extra steps.
