About Lakisha
Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes.
Background and approach
She uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes listening and respect. Sessions are practical and straightforward.
Lakisha aims to make people feel heard and understood while offering tools they can use between appointments. Her work includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and the Gottman Method.
She adapts these methods to address issues like intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and mood disorders including bipolar conditions. Lakisha also focuses on relational themes such as attachment, communication problems, blended family concerns, and forgiveness.
Her background includes roles in nonprofit organizations, schools, correctional facilities, and independent practice. That variety has shaped a flexible style that fits different life situations and cultural backgrounds.
Lakisha emphasizes straightforward talk, practical coping strategies, and steady support. People who come for help can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where progress is paced to their needs.
She encourages clients to try new approaches when old patterns are no longer working and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building rapport. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify goals, feel understood, and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or impulsivity. Sessions often include simple exercises to practice between meetings. The Gottman Method offers practical tools to improve communication and manage conflict in close relationships, with exercises that build better day-to-day interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a client's needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so techniques feel useful and realistic for each person.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options aim to make consistent care more convenient and flexible for different routines and locations.
