About Lakeisha

Lakeisha McKnabb is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She draws on 18 years of experience to guide people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, and workplace stress. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and supports clients as they try new ways of coping.

Her approach begins by listening to a person's story and identifying strengths they already have.

Background and approach

Sessions often include goal-focused work, tools for handling stress, and conversations about relationships and career choices. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools may be offered alongside talk-based work when they fit a person's goals. Lakeisha also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.

For trauma-related concerns she may incorporate EMDR methods as part of a broader plan. Motivational interviewing is invited when clients are weighing change or facing addiction challenges. She has worked with individuals around grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and workplace issues.

Her background includes helping people manage panic, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on mental health. Sessions are delivered in ways that match a client's life and schedule. People who choose her often want clear steps and steady support.

She explains options, checks in on progress, and adjusts the plan as needed. The focus is on what helps a person move forward one step at a time.

Online support

How hypnotherapy, CBT, and client-centered work translate online

Lakeisha uses several approaches that can be adapted to remote sessions. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habit change, stress, and motivation; it can work well over video when a person prefers a calming, guided format. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching simple exercises people can practice between sessions to manage anxiety, depression, and panic. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and building on a person's strengths so they feel heard and supported while setting goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. That makes it easier to shift between strategies like mindfulness, CBT exercises, or brief hypnotherapy techniques as needed.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual connection for guided exercises and EMDR-style work, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or those with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep work moving forward on their own schedule.
