About Tikita

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of experience, Tikita Ficklin helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She also helps clients work on self-esteem, relationships, grief, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness.

Tikita trained at Mercer University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She also completed three years of doctoral coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. Her credential is LPC and she holds licensure in Georgia.

In sessions she adapts common counseling methods to fit what the person needs. She works from client-centered principles and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts that keep problems going. She applies motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused steps to set practical goals.

People can expect direct, practical conversations. Tikita aims to identify patterns, name feelings, and choose small actions that move things forward. She frames work around what the person wants to change and what is realistic for their life.

Her additional focus areas include forgiveness, self-love, and clarifying life purpose. For parents, she addresses parenting strain and family-related concerns through the same practical, goal-oriented methods.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and shaping sessions around what the client names as most important. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions use simple exercises and short homework tasks to notice unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative responses. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring a person’s own reasons for change and building their confidence to act. In remote meetings this can be a few focused questions and plan-making that fit into daily life.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what seems to fit based on goals, current challenges, and personal preference. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs shift.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing practical exercises and assigning short tasks between meetings to build momentum.
