About Lecretia
Lecretia centers sessions on each person's story. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. People often work on communication, building self-esteem, or managing panic and low mood with small, doable strategies.
She uses approaches that emphasize collaboration and real-world change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and focus based on what the person finds most meaningful.
Her background includes work across Mississippi and Tennessee settings with adults and older adults who face caregiving stress, aging concerns, and isolation. The practice addresses issues tied to life transitions, career stress, and trauma and abuse by blending empathy with hands-on skills.
Lecretia aims to make therapy straightforward. She helps people map small steps toward clearer thinking, better communication, and steadier mood. Her sessions emphasize practical skills, respectful listening, and a plan clients can try between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than a formula. It means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to decide what matters most in sessions. This approach can help when someone needs understanding, space to process feelings, or support deciding next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building different habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation tasks.
Finding the right way to work together is part of therapy. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and preferences, then suggest whether more skill-building or a listening-focused approach fits best. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats were not listed in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people join from a location that works for them and reduce disruption to caregiving or work responsibilities.
