About Tikita

Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service) from Mercer University, and she pursued doctoral coursework in Marriage & Family Therapy at NorthCentral University.

Tikita blends practical training with a client-focused orientation to help people address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and self-esteem. Her approach centers on matching therapeutic methods to each person's needs, drawing from cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered principles, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.

Tikita emphasizes helping clients recover from past wounds while clarifying life purpose and cultivating self-love and forgiveness. She encourages a collaborative process where clients explore identity, build confidence, and pursue meaningful change, guided by the belief expressed in her motto: Just trust the process.

Approaches for Online Growth and Change

Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a supportive space where a person’s own goals and values guide the work; it is well suited for those wanting deeper self-exploration and affirmation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic stress responses. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal motivation and resolve ambivalence when someone is ready to change patterns related to relationships, parenting, or lifestyle goals.

Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will adapt methods over time so that the plan stays responsive and practical. Clients can expect a partnership that balances skills training, goal setting, and reflective conversation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow people to access licensed professionals from wherever they are, making it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as life requires.
