Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy add short-term strategies and goal-focused changes. Tikita emphasizes purpose and self-discovery. She helps people untangle past hurts, work on forgiveness, and build self-love. Sessions are oriented toward practical next steps people can try between meetings. Her stated motto is “Just trust the process.” That outlook guides a collaborative style that aims to balance emotional support with actionable planning.

Approaches and how online work can fit into therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help the person feel understood and to clarify what matters most in their life. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions that change outcomes. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what helps most. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Session logistics can affect how therapy fits into daily life - for example shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, audio sessions require less bandwidth, and some formats make it easier to join from different locations. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules are busy and to keep regular momentum toward goals. Licensed professionals will help match approach and logistics to your needs so sessions are practical and focused.
