Hello, my name is La'Kia Belle and I am a licensed therapist. I have nearly 20 years of experience in clinical counseling. I work with individuals of all ages and cultural and ethnic backgrounds, helping them navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and the complex emotions that arise during major life events.
My approach is grounded in compassion and empathy. I'm committed to creating a welcoming space where you feel seen, heard, and respected for who you are. I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, work through isolation and loneliness, and discover greater life purpose. I also support individuals navigating relationship challenges—including divorce, infidelity, codependency, and abandonment—as well as workplace stress, family dynamics, and identity concerns.
I have particular expertise in PTSD anger management, and parenting support. I also specialize in spiritual and biblical counseling. Whether you're facing social anxiety, seasonal shifts in mood, or a midlife transition, I'm here to help you build resilience and move forward with clarity and strength.
My work is rooted in evidence-based practice and a deep belief in your capacity for growth. I honor each client's unique background, values, and lived experience. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
