Lakitha Thomas
Hi there! I'm Lakitha Thomas, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Nu Found Peace Counseling and Wellness, PLLC. I'm passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, trauma-related issues, infertility-related emotional challenges, and life transitions.
My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to discover your strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and find lasting peace.
First session
During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they are encouraged to share their concerns, experiences, and therapy goals at a pace that feels comfortable for them. The session will focus on getting to know the client, discussing current challenges, exploring relevant background information, and identifying areas they would like to improve or work through in therapy. Clients can also expect an opportunity to ask questions, discuss expectations for counseling, and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship focused on support, growth, and emotional wellness.
Strengths
I bring compassion, patience, and a genuine ability to connect with people from different walks of life. My years of experience in counseling have taught me the importance of listening without judgment and meeting clients where they are. I create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My approach combines empathy, encouragement, and practical strategies to help you recognize your strengths, overcome challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, and trauma-related concerns. I work well with clients who are looking for a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel safe to openly express themselves. My goal is to help clients develop healthy coping skills, increase self-awareness, improve emotional wellness, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful, positive changes in their daily lives and relationships.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that impact their emotions and behaviors. In my practice, I use CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring, coping skills development, and problem-solving strategies to support clients in managing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques into my practice to help clients develop healthier ways to manage emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stress. I utilize skills related to mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support clients in building balance and improving daily functioning.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients identify their strengths, build on existing successes, and develop practical solutions to current challenges. In my practice, I focus on goal-setting, encouraging positive change, and helping clients recognize their ability to create meaningful progress in their lives.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I utilize Person-Centered Therapy by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions openly. In my practice, I emphasize empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard to help clients build self-awareness, confidence, and personal growth.
Grief Therapy
I utilize grief therapy to provide compassionate support to individuals coping with loss, helping them process emotions, adjust to life changes, and navigate the grieving process at their own pace. In my practice, I create a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their feelings while developing healthy coping strategies and emotional support systems.
