About

Lakira Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in North Carolina after relocating from New York City. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia State University and earned a Master of Social Work from Hunter College Silberman School of Social.

With 12 years of experience, she has provided counseling to individuals and families across a range of settings. Early in her career she worked with youth in foster care, supporting foster parents and birth parents working toward reunification. She has also counseled young mothers, people coping with addiction, and teenagers with mild to severe behavioral concerns and mental health symptoms.

Her clinical experience covers many common concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression and anxiety, ADHD, family relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and more. Lakira’s style is warm and interactive, and she approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while remaining attentive to cultural diversity and its possible influence on treatment.

Her therapeutic method combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and client-centered approaches, and she individualizes treatment plans and sessions to meet each person’s specific needs. Seeking change takes courage, and Lakira aims to support and empower clients by providing practical tools to reach their goals and fuller potential.

She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to take those first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy is generally as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is convenience. Clients can meet with therapists in the format that fits their needs and schedule - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to keep up with care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.

Licensed professionals deliver these services, and if someone decides a different therapeutic fit would be better, it is possible to switch therapists. Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility while supporting progress on familiar mental health and life concerns.
