About Lakishia

Lakishia Bussell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina (NC LCSW C007645). She brings three years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, behavioral management, crisis situations, and trauma and emotional abuse. Her practice also addresses addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Her therapeutic style is encouraging, interactive, and person-centered. She approaches each person with respect and compassion and does not rely on stigmatizing labels. Combining a non-judgmental stance with solution-focused techniques, she partners with clients to identify goals and practical steps for change. Rather than instructing or telling clients what to do, she aims to empower them to build the life they want.

Lakishia draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor care to each client’s needs. She provides services in English and works with international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s experience guides the process. It helps people clarify their values, build self-understanding, and make choices aligned with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment needs to improve relationship patterns and emotional connection, making it useful for couples and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lakishia works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same core therapeutic work in a way that suits each client’s lifestyle and communication style.
