    About Lakeithia

    Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She has five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around self-esteem and relationships. She aims to create a grounded, collaborative space where people can name what matters to them and take steps forward.

    Her work often centers on life changes, grief, parenting concerns, career stress, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She pays attention to practical daily challenges as well as deeper questions of meaning and purpose.

    Clayton draws on approaches like Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy. In sessions she listens for what motivates change, identifies patterns that cause struggle, and helps people set small workable goals. Her style is collaborative and respectful rather than prescriptive.

    She also addresses issues such as postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, communication and commitment issues, guilt and shame, and isolation. People who prefer clear steps and reflective conversation may find this approach helpful.

    Sessions are offered in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats directly to make sure they match personal needs and circumstances.

  2. How chosen approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. Online sessions using this approach often center on clarifying values, building motivation, and setting small steps toward goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the person sets the pace. In an online setting this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and supports whatever goals feel most important to the client. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approaches fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method.

    Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, fewer travel needs, and options for shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. Many people find it simpler to schedule around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and the therapist will help tailor session length and focus to fit everyday life.
