About Tikita
Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Georgia. She brings nine years of counseling experience and a background in clinical mental health to work with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship tensions, and parenting concerns. Tikita aims to help people reconnect with purpose and build self-worth through straightforward guidance and steady support.
She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) from Mercer University.
Background and approach
She also completed three years of doctoral study in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. Her training informs a flexible, person-focused way of working. In sessions she uses practical, conversational methods.
She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and small steps that fit their life. Techniques often include thought-focused exercises, motivational discussion, and brief solution-oriented planning aimed at changing patterns and easing day-to-day strain. Tikita pays attention to values like forgiveness, self-love, and life purpose alongside symptom relief.
She encourages clients to name what matters and to take manageable steps toward it. Parents who feel overwhelmed or stuck can explore strategies for calmer routines, clearer boundaries, and more confident caregiving. Her style is direct and encouraging.
She asks questions, offers tools, and checks in on progress. People who prefer a collaborative, goal-minded approach tend to find her practical methods useful for making steady changes.

Approaches that lend well to online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's view. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify values and goals, and supports self-directed change. This approach is helpful when someone wants acceptance and practical feedback about parenting stress, relationships, or self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and daily routines that parents want to change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tikita will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative approach means techniques can shift as a person makes progress or faces new concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can suit short check-ins, quick coaching, or clients who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family life.
