Getting to know Lakesha Mapp-Thompson

Hi there, I'm Lakesha! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Therapy is beneficial for those seeking answers and necessary changes in their life. I would love to hear your story and help you achieve meaningful relationships. My approach I provide person-centered therapy, creating an empathic and supportive environment. This allows clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and mindfulness to help clients reach their goals. My focus My approach works for clients across all ages. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions-such as blending families, single parenting, or pursuing higher education-this approach empowers you to focus on what's best for you and those around you. My communication style I practice active listening, ask clarifying questions, give honest and open feedback, and remain empathic. I understand everyone communicates differently and will always ask what style works best for you to maximize our sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I became a social worker because I love advocating for others, especially those who feel voiceless. Even when young, people confided in me. Many appreciate my honesty and come to me knowing I will be honest and empathic regardless of our relationship. We all face experiences that shape us, and we all have room to grow for ourselves and those around us.
