My professional background includes 10 years of work experience, during which I have licenses in both Georgia and Mississippi. I am skilled in helping individuals with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. I collaborate with my clients to cultivate a supportive and non-judgmental space, facilitating the sharing of thoughts and emotions with no fear. It takes great courage to take the initial step towards achieving a life that is both more fulfilling and happier. My purpose is to offer you support as you navigate through this process.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will involve personal introductions and addressing the initial concerns that led the client to seek counseling. At the conclusion of the session, the client will establish two goals that will serve as the central focus for their subsequent counseling sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I collaborate with the client to explore the underlying causes of their issue. I am committed to fostering a secure and inclusive atmosphere that encourages honesty, addresses challenges, and empowers all clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with adult clients (aged 19 and above) who are experiencing stagnation in their personal growth and development as they strive to pursue a purposeful existence. My clients embrace the opportunities presented by self-exploration and enhancement of social-emotional well-being. They will embrace the recognition that life is inherently uncertain and certain occurrences are unavoidable. They exhibit resilience in not allowing themselves to be defined by their past, but show a willingness to learn from it. My clients possess an unyielding resolve to continuously enhance their abilities.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Through Person-centered therapy, clients can develop greater self-awareness and a solution-focused mindset, which will enable them to address their concerns effectively. The control lies with the client. As a therapist, I aim to empower clients and enhance their well-being. My clients have the liberty to deeply explore themselves and the certainty that their voices will be acknowledged and comprehended in each session.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Clients may exhibit various maladaptive behaviors when their thoughts become consumed by negativity. As a therapist, I assist clients shift negative thoughts to positive ones by reframing and debunking the negative beliefs that persist in their minds. I have utilized CBT frequently with clients presenting with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, fears, relationship problems, and so forth.

I love Lycedia! She really picks at how you are communicating to yourself and challenges you to outgrow old beliefs or limiting beliefs and wants the best for you. She is very wise and intuitive as well and very relatable.

She match with the topics I want to discuss. What stood out is her being very communicative and being able to dissect me and be able to voice the issues I have. Definitely impacted my experience in a positive manner I feel good about her. She engaged so much.

Lycedia is easy to talk to, warm, and genuinely fun to talk to. She challenges me and makes me think about ways to approach things logically rather than emotionally, something I have always struggled with. Since meeting with her, I have felt like a better person, and I can not recommend her enough!
