Her approach is compassionate and straightforward. She aims to make therapy feel manageable for people juggling many responsibilities. Lakesa encourages small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life to build momentum toward lasting change.

How CBT shapes online therapy and practical coping

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting thoughts that feed anxiety and depression and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches concrete skills like breaking problems into steps and changing behaviors that keep mood low, which helps with panic, social anxiety, and persistent low mood.

The therapist’s work also emphasizes building self-compassion and managing caregiver stress through simple routines and communication tools. These methods aim to reduce overwhelm and create small wins that add up over time.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match techniques to goals and daily life. Together they set priorities, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or travel. It can reduce commute time and let people use short check-ins when days are busy, while still focusing on skill practice and steady progress.
