About Lesia Lancaster

Lesia Lancaster is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and a nationally certified trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. The LCMHC credential indicates state licensure to practice clinical counseling, the NCC reflects national professional certification, and the trauma-focused CBT certification denotes specialized training in treating traumatic stress using structured, evidence-informed techniques.

She has supported people coping with trauma, grief, and major life transitions that often lead to heightened anxiety, self-doubt, strained relationships, and challenges finding purpose. Lesia balances gentle support with thoughtful challenge - she does not push clients beyond their readiness, but she helps them assess when they are prepared to examine difficult thoughts and emotions so they can discover new ways of living.

In a world of rapid change and unexpected events that can produce acute stress or trauma, Lesia recognizes how overwhelming and isolating adjustment can feel. She creates a supportive space where individuals can name their feelings, work through painful experiences, and take steps toward regaining a sense of agency. Her approach centers on helping people move from feeling stuck toward practical changes that support daily functioning and relationships.

Lesia brings focused training in trauma work together with a compassionate, person-centered stance to guide each person through their unique healing process.

Approaches That Shape Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people explore how attachment styles affect intimacy, communication, and responses to loss or abandonment, and it supports building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and strengths, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental environment that encourages self-exploration. It is useful for reducing feelings of isolation, improving self-esteem, and finding personal meaning during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more adaptive patterns. It is applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma-related reactions by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lesia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what is most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life circumstances change, and receive support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
