Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson, LPC, LMHC

Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and offers a warm, person-centered style that emphasizes empathy and respect. Her approach aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns in clear, practical ways.

She uses a mix of methods to match a person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Lakisha also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method when addressing intimacy-related issues and relationship communication.

Her background includes work in nonprofit programs, schools, correctional settings, and private practice. That range of experience informs how she talks with people about parenting challenges, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar symptoms, grief, and life transitions. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions.

Lakisha describes her therapy style as compassionate and nonjudgmental, with room for honesty and a little humor. She focuses on building rapport and meeting each person where they are. Sessions are intended to help people gain clearer coping skills and a stronger sense of direction.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through tough decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, and it can be applied when emotions feel overwhelming or reactive.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try specific tools, and adjust methods based on what fits best. Work is paced to match each person’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed template.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make certain exercises and homework easier to share and review between meetings. Licensed professionals help clients choose a rhythm and format that suits their schedule and goals.
