About LaKesha
LaKesha Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, and compassion fatigue. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation, and the challenge of major life changes. Her approach aims to make the first step feel easier and less overwhelming.
LaKesha focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. She listens closely and works with each person to set small, practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match what a person can handle that week. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to notice and shift strong emotional patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are offered to help change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. LaKesha has five years of professional experience as an LCSW. She brings that hands-on experience to each session and adapts methods to the person in front of her.
People often come with overlapping concerns, and she helps untangle what feels most urgent. Therapy with LaKesha is collaborative. She helps people set clear goals, track progress, and adjust plans if something isn’t working.
She works with adults in Florida and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. Online sessions can use these ideas to practice new ways of relating to feelings and to rehearse different responses in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and small actions; through video or messaging, a therapist and client can set value-driven goals and check progress between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy so clients feel heard; that listening can happen in a phone call, a video session, or via written messages.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and pace. Plans are adjusted as the client notices what helps and what does not, so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use writing to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
