About Lakishia
LCSW in North Carolina with 3 years of experience, Lakishia Bussell helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and related concerns. She works with individuals on issues such as parenting challenges, grief, addiction, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar management, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are described as collaborative and interactive rather than directive.
Bussell uses a client-centered approach in sessions. That means she focuses on the person's goals and responses rather than following a predetermined plan. She also uses solution-focused methods to identify small, practical steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her toolkit to help people notice and test the thoughts and habits that contribute to anxiety or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when relationship feelings and attachment patterns are central concerns. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also used to support coping and readiness for change.
In a session with Bussell, expect an interactive conversation that balances listening with problem-solving. She says she avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to treat people with respect. The work tends to look like setting clear goals, trying practical strategies, and checking what helps.
Her background includes practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2012 in North Carolina. The profile lists three years of experience for the current role. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. To confirm current session options, readers should use the booking flow before scheduling.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks clarifying questions, and reflects back what she hears to help people make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses brief exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative process guides whether sessions lean more toward CBT exercises, emotionally-focused conversations, mindfulness practice, or motivational interviewing techniques.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals also use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
