About Lakeisha
Lakeisha McKnabb is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who want more control over stress, anger, and relationships. Her practice also covers anxiety, depression, addictions, and career or parenting strain.
She believes clients know their own stories and brings practical methods to help people use their strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long lectures. She also offers coaching-style support for workplace and professional concerns.
Lakeisha draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and EMDR for memories that keep causing distress. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools are available when those fit the work.
In sessions she helps people notice triggers, practice calmer responses, and try new communication habits. For someone snapping at loved ones or feeling resentment at work, the focus is on specific steps to reduce reactivity and repair relationships.
She has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and concerns tied to prejudice or discrimination. Lakeisha also supports people living with bipolar disorder, ADHD, panic, and post-traumatic stress who want practical coping strategies.
Sessions are conducted in English from her North Carolina practice. Prospective clients choose an initial match questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says to build clarity and direction. Online sessions use that same approach to help people name patterns, priorities, and immediate goals for anger and stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that escalate anger. In remote sessions clients practice new ways of thinking and make simple behavior experiments to try between meetings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses disturbing memories that keep triggering strong reactions. When EMDR is recommended the therapist explains how the process works and how it can reduce the intensity of painful recollections.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning guides which methods are used and how sessions are paced.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Clients and the therapist agree on practical details during the matching and scheduling steps to make therapy fit everyday life.
