Lakesa Mace

Lakesa Mace is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Her work often centers on women's issues and on building self-love and resilience.

She uses clear, practical conversations to help people name difficult feelings and find small, workable steps forward. Sessions concentrate on improving communication, addressing body image and abandonment wounds, and reducing symptoms of mood disorders and social anxiety. Lakesa also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, control issues, guilt, and shame.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to get better results. She pairs this with an individualized pace so people move at a rate that feels manageable.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful experiences and to practice new ways of coping. Lakesa aims to help people strengthen boundaries, repair communication patterns, and build everyday habits that sustain emotional balance.

Working together, she helps people set realistic goals and track changes over time. Her focus is on practical progress - not quick fixes - so clients leave with tools they can use after therapy ends.

How CBT-based Care Looks in Online Therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and social fear. This approach is practical and goal-oriented and is often used for stress, depression, and anxiety.

The core work in sessions often involves identifying stuck patterns and practicing new responses. Lakesa uses these methods to help people build self-love, challenge perfectionism, and manage distressing memories or mood swings. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try and when to adjust them based on progress and comfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lakesa will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few CBT strategies first and shifting if something isn’t helping.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when days are hectic. It also lets people use exercises and homework between meetings so progress continues between appointments.
