About Lakeisha
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 18 years of experience, Lakeisha McKnabb helps people facing addiction, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and parenting strain. She also offers coaching for executives and professionals and supports people handling trauma, grief, and workplace problems. Sessions are delivered in English and geared toward practical change.
Lakeisha uses approaches that foreground the client's experience. She practices client-centered methods that prioritize what the person brings to sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
When trauma is part of the picture, she can use EMDR to address disturbing memories and reactions. Mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy are available as tools to build calm and shift responses to stress. She integrates methods rather than following a single formula.
In a typical session she listens to the problem, clarifies goals, and works collaboratively on small, concrete steps. For career or executive coaching she focuses on decision points, communication, and managing workplace stress. For parenting and family-related concerns she helps individuals navigate boundaries and coping strategies.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work in North Carolina settings. Lakeisha emphasizes straightforward conversations and measurable steps. People who prefer direct, skills-focused sessions that still honor their personal story often find her approach practical and accessible.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and decision-making. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities, listens closely, and follows the person's lead to set goals and next steps. This approach is useful for relationship questions, parenting strain, and general life stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions typically include short experiments, thought records, and skill practice between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or workplace stress.
EMDR is an option when trauma memories or repeated distressing reactions are present. It works by pairing targeted memory work with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EMDR online is used to address post-traumatic stress and panic reactions when applicable.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist uses approaches that can be adapted to remote work, with practical exercises and between-session tasks to support progress.
