About Lanita

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with five years of experience. Lanita Carter helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, trauma and life changes. She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day and on building a clear working relationship.

Lanita listens for what is most pressing and starts with concrete goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as her main approach and adapts conversations to each person. Sessions emphasize learning tools for coping, testing small changes, and noticing what helps in real life.

She aims to build trust through straightforward interaction and encouragement. Lanita describes her role as collaborative - she and the client decide what to try next. That can mean setting short-term goals, practicing new skills between sessions, or rethinking unhelpful patterns of thinking.

When working on trauma, grief, or major life changes she focuses on pacing and on helping clients regain day-to-day functioning. For anxiety and stress she emphasizes skills that reduce immediate overwhelm and allow clearer decision making. For depression and anger she helps people identify small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

Lanita keeps sessions practical and centered on the client’s current concerns. She uses plain language and checks in about what is or is not working. People who prefer direct guidance and step-by-step strategies may find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches used and how they fit remote work

Lanita names Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as her primary method. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new routines that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also emphasizes pacing and stabilization when addressing trauma or grief. That means starting with skills that reduce immediate distress and then moving toward processing difficult experiences at a comfortable rate.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Lanita checks in regularly about progress and adapts the plan to the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use audio-only options when a video call is not practical. Ask about current session options when you schedule so the format matches your daily routine.
