About Tikita
Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse. She also focuses on forgiveness, self-love, self-esteem and life purpose.
She trained at Mercer University where she earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling after completing a Bachelor of Science in Social Science (Human Service). She also completed three years of doctoral study in Marriage and Family Therapy at NorthCentral University. Her background gives her a mix of practical counseling skills and family-focused theory.
Tikita uses approaches that fit the needs of each person. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep people stuck.
Her style includes goal-focused techniques such as Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to encourage small, manageable steps toward change. Conversations often move between understanding what happened and trying practical strategies for the present.
People who want to clarify what comes next after a life change often work with her to sort values and options. Sessions typically involve straightforward talk, skill-building, and follow-up plans that can be practiced between meetings.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session to review goals and next steps. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and building understanding from the client's perspective. Online sessions using this approach involve the therapist actively hearing concerns and helping the client name what matters most, which can help when sorting a life purpose or values question.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and choices. In an online format CBT typically includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and assigning simple practices between sessions to test new ways of acting and thinking.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as needed over time.
