About Tikishia
Tikishia Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, family conflict, low self-esteem, trauma, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and offers steady support so parents can make small, useful changes. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion from the first conversation.
With 12 years of experience practicing in Alabama, she adapts sessions to each person's needs. She uses methods that focus on relationships and thoughts, and she keeps discussions focused and practical.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns, build clearer communication, and reduce overwhelming feelings. Tikishia draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Therapy sessions include collaborative goal-setting and simple tools to use between meetings. Parents can expect concrete strategies for managing stress and for responding to parenting challenges with more confidence.
Progress is measured in manageable steps rather than sudden change. She accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to suit busy schedules. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the parent's routine.

How attachment, client-centered, and CBT work online
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships influence current reactions and closeness. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and practice new ways of relating to partners and children. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's lead and creating space to talk at a comfortable pace; it helps people name priorities and decide what matters most in parenting and family life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods when something is not helping. This collaborative process helps match the approach to the client's needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around childcare and work. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Shorter live chat or text messages are good for check-ins, homework help, or when a quick strategy is needed between meetings. These options aim to make consistent care more accessible for parents with busy lives.
