About Lecretia

Lecretia Clark is a licensed counselor practicing in Mississippi who guides people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She integrates practical coping strategies with empathic support to help clients manage mood disorders, trauma, relationship concerns, and challenges like panic, postpartum changes, and seasonal mood shifts.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she combines focused skill-building with attentive listening to meet each person's needs. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a client-centered orientation, helping individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier habits while keeping the client's perspective central.

Clark also addresses related issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and life-purpose questions. She holds the Tennessee LPC-MHSP 4725 credential and MS LPC 2105 license and frames treatment around the goals and preferences clients bring to sessions.

Approaches and Online Care for Practical Change

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the person's experience and prioritizing their goals; the therapist listens deeply and uses that perspective to shape the pace and focus of work, making it useful for people seeking validation and a collaborative space to explore concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems.

Deciding on an approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to weigh options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on progress, needs, and personal preferences so treatment fits each individual's goals and life context.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments around work and caregiving responsibilities and can increase access for those who find in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and client-centered conversations to these online formats to support skill-building and emotional processing across different types of concerns.
