Lakeithia Clayton

Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses grief, parenting concerns, career questions, and concerns related to mood disorders and compassion fatigue.

Clayton works in a conversational, client-centered way. Sessions are practical and aim to identify patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She uses approaches like acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative methods to help people notice what matters and test small changes.

Clients can expect work that mixes problem-solving with values-focused reflection. Conversations may include examining thoughts and behaviors, experimenting with new skills between sessions, and reviewing what helped or did not help. Motivational interviewing is sometimes used to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.

Her practice also includes attention to aging and caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, and struggles with isolation or emptiness. Lakeithia lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people consider meaning alongside practical steps.

She provides care in English from Louisiana and holds the MS LCSW and TX LCSW credentials as listed. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats with the practice.

Approach and practical online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for stress, emptiness, and life purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments and skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, respectful conversation where the person’s priorities guide what happens in sessions and the therapist follows their lead.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help figure out what fits best based on the client’s goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten the time needed for check-ins, and remove travel time. They can also allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving, and make it simpler to try therapy while keeping everyday routines intact.
