About Lakeithia
Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on practical support for people facing life stressors and parenting challenges. She explains things plainly and aims to help clients find realistic ways to cope.
Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief. She also helps people navigating parenting concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools rather than long theory talks. Clayton uses several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions, including acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. She adapts methods to each person’s needs and prefers a collaborative style where the client’s priorities lead the plan.
Her background includes work with issues that come up around aging, caregiving, end-of-life matters, postpartum depression, and pregnancy and childbirth. She also addresses communication problems, commitment concerns, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Therapy sessions with Clayton typically move at a practical pace.
Clients can expect to talk through patterns, try new behaviors between meetings, and revisit what works. The overall aim is to build coping skills, strengthen decision-making, and reduce the everyday burdens that get in the way of living well.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that affect daily routine. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and can explore their own solutions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they shape a plan and try methods that fit the client’s needs, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy with this clinician is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone visits can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging offer short, on-the-go support and ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting and daily life.
