About Lakisha
Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical counseling experience. She works with adults who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Lakisha uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people make sense of strong emotions and recurring patterns.
She has worked in nonprofit organizations, schools, correctional facilities, and private practice. That variety shaped how she listens and responds to different life situations. Sessions aim to identify what's keeping a person stuck and to try concrete ways to change those patterns.
Lakisha draws from client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She combines these approaches to help with anger that shows up in relationships, at work, or as internal resentment. The focus is on practical skills, clearer communication, and managing impulses.
In early meetings she typically maps out what feels most urgent, then works with the client on short-term coping strategies and longer-term behavior changes. Exercises may include thought tracking, emotion regulation skills, mindfulness practice, and communication techniques from the Gottman Method when relationship stress is involved.
She offers care in English and does not accept international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How Lakisha integrates approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working from the client’s goals. It helps people feel heard and lets the therapist tailor what comes next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation and impulse control and is useful when anger feels overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lakisha will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Early sessions usually identify what feels most urgent and test a few skills to see what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real situations and bring those experiences back to sessions for review.
