About Lakesa

Lakesa Mace is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of experience who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed strategies.

Background and approach

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting recovery from stress, anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges.

Her practice also addresses grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, and social anxiety while exploring related areas such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control issues, and guilt or shame. Lakesa emphasizes helping people cultivate self-love and healthier coping skills so they can rebuild resilience and move toward emotional balance.

Drawing on a compassionate, person-centered stance, she tailors sessions to each individual and focuses on practical tools, clearer communication, and healing from past wounds. Licensed in Oklahoma and Texas as an LPC, Lakesa integrates structured techniques with empathic support to guide clients through meaningful change and renewed self-understanding.

CBT Informed Care Online

Licensed professionals often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people uncover the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; this approach offers concrete techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation. In practice these tools can reduce distressing symptoms and promote more adaptive daily habits.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. Lakesa approaches treatment as a joint process - she works with clients to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative exploration helps determine whether CBT techniques or other person-centered methods best fit the client's situation.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or travel, and they support ongoing skill practice between sessions.
