LPC, 6 years of experience
Greetings. My name is Lekisha Glenn. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments. My passion for helping others began as a teenager while volunteering with children in foster care, and has since evolved into over a decade of dedicated service across various settings. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families, particularly those facing difficulties with behavior, focus, emotional regulation, and adjustment. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, anger management, autism spectrum disorder, depression, trauma, grief, domestic violence, DMDD, and other adjustment-related issues. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and integrate both my personal resilience as a trauma survivor and clinical expertise to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. Clients describe me as warm, relatable, and highly supportive—someone who truly meets you where you are. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Art Therapy, and Talk Therapy. I believe in helping clients identify root causes and build practical tools for emotional well-being and personal growth. With a strong background in working with children and adolescents who struggle with discipline, anger, attention, anxiety, trauma, and depression, I feel that I have a natural ability to connect and guide young clients in a way that fosters trust, empowerment, and change. “It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way that you carry it.” I am ready to walk beside you on your journey toward healing. If you are prepared to do the work and seek a safe, supportive space to grow, transform, and thrive—schedule an appointment with me today.
Your first session with me is all about building connection and creating a comfortable, safe space where you can be yourself. I know that opening up—especially for the first time—can feel overwhelming, so we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. During this initial session, I’ll ask questions to get to know you better: what brings you to therapy, what challenges you’re facing, and what goals you hope to achieve. We’ll explore any past experiences that may be influencing your current situation, but there’s no pressure to share everything all at once. This is your space, and I’ll meet you where you are. We’ll also discuss how therapy works, review confidentiality, and go over any concerns or questions you might have. I may introduce some basic coping strategies or tools you can begin using right away, depending on your needs. For children and teens, I take time to build rapport first. I use age-appropriate language and interactive strategies to help them feel comfortable, while also working closely with caregivers to better understand the child’s behavior, strengths, and needs. By the end of the session, my goal is for you to leave feeling supported, heard, and hopeful about the work we’ll do together.
What stands out most about my therapeutic approach is the balance I strike between empathy and effectiveness. I’m not just here to listen—I’m here to help clients do the real work of healing and growth. My style is warm, direct, and highly supportive. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and challenged in the best way. I tailor each session to the individual, drawing from a variety of evidence-based methods like CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and expressive techniques like art and narrative therapy. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Whether we’re working through trauma, anxiety, attention challenges, or emotional regulation, I adjust my approach to meet the client’s unique needs and goals. One of the things that truly sets my work apart is how I connect with children and teens—especially those with anger issues, focus difficulties, or a history of trauma. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can open up, learn to regulate emotions, and practice new coping strategies. I make therapy approachable and meaningful for them while also supporting caregivers with realistic guidance and feedback. My clients see results—whether that’s reduced anxiety, improved communication, better focus in school, healthier relationships, or simply the ability to handle life with more confidence and clarity. I measure success not just by symptom relief but by long-term, sustainable change.
I have extensive experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families, particularly those facing difficulties with behavior, focus, emotional regulation, and adjustment. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, anger management, autism spectrum disorder, depression, trauma, grief, domestic violence, DMDD, and other adjustment-related issues.
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with children, teens, and adults. CBT is a core approach in my practice because of its practical, evidence-based nature and its ability to help clients gain insight into how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. In my work, I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful or distorted thinking patterns, challenge negative beliefs, and develop more balanced, realistic thoughts. This often leads to positive behavioral and emotional changes. I also incorporate CBT tools like thought records, behavioral activation, coping skill building, and goal-setting exercises to support lasting change. With children and teens, I adapt CBT to be more engaging and age-appropriate—using visuals, worksheets, storytelling, and interactive activities to help them understand how their thoughts influence their behavior and emotions. For clients dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, anger, or trauma, CBT provides a structured framework that empowers them to feel more in control of their experiences and responses. My goal when using CBT is to equip clients with lifelong tools they can use outside of sessions—whether it’s managing anxiety in a stressful moment, communicating more effectively, or navigating difficult emotions with greater clarity.
