Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lakisha Boykin



Lakisha uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative, accepting relationship where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy and active listening, helping people explore self-esteem, life transitions, and family or relationship concerns at their own pace.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, often useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect work or relationships.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can ease emotional reactivity and support coping with compassion fatigue, grief, or ongoing life pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lakisha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect from home or other convenient locations. These options support consistent treatment and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
