I have been working in the mental health field for over 30 years. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Working since 2012 in North Carolina. I have worked with clients with wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, behavioral management, relationship issues, parenting, and crisis management. I specialize in trauma and emotional abuse.
My therapy style is encouraging and interactive. I treat everyone with respect and compassion. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels.

I am excited and look forward to working with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lakishia Bussell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is the best therapist anyone could wish for. I wouldn't be were I am today if it wasn't for her!

Lakishia helped me understand my main problems in life. Explained to me the difference between disabilities and illnesses in mental health. She always has a great attitude into trying to help and get to know you but also with anything that you tell her, she will hype you up with every accomplishment you make. It is always encouraging having her and doing more sessions with her. She's great at what she does and will always work in trying to help you out even if she might not be able to.

Lakishia has been great to me so far, even in times I don’t want to talk, she finds a way to get me to open up.
