About Tikita

Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and family matters. Tikita also focuses on forgiveness, life purpose, and building self-love.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Services) and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University. Her background includes three years of doctoral study in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. These studies inform how she listens and plans sessions.

Tikita uses practical, client-centered methods. She mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on what each person needs. Sessions often involve talking through what leads to anger and practicing manageable behavior changes.

In sessions she helps people identify triggers, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build small habits that reduce frequent outbursts. She also supports people who carry resentment or grief and want to work toward forgiveness or a clearer sense of purpose. The emphasis is on steady skills and short-term goals that fit daily life.

Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps rather than long lectures. Clients who want clear tools to manage strong feelings and to reconnect with their priorities may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps people notice their own priorities and decide what change feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anger driven by recurring thoughts and workplace or relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those goals. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new needs appear.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep momentum between appointments. Some formats let people check in with a shorter meeting when a quick adjustment is needed, while others support longer skill-building sessions. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice new ways of responding to anger within everyday life.
