More about me

Years in Practice: 5 State: Connecticut

I have been licensed in the State of Connecticut as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for approximately five (5) years. I pride myself in being attentive to the needs of others struggling with depression, anxiety, and other life challenges that may be of concern. My goal is to build a trusting and authentic connection with anyone needing my help.

We all deserve to be treated with dignity; I offer encouragement, empathy, and genuineness in a non-judgmental space. If you are feeling weighed down, or in need of support adjusting to life challenges, then I am here to help. We can work through these challenges together while learning and growing in the process. By working collaboratively, we will hopefully be able to build trust and cultivate emotional growth.

We are all unique individuals; each with our own story to tell. Although my main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I realize that no two people are the same; therefore each process is adapted to meet individual needs. Life's a journey and at some point, we all need guidance; let's take this journey together.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Lanita has helped me gather my thoughts and help me cope with emotional stress and anxiety. She also gives me competent support and advice, not cookie cutter paragraphs as if she’s not really listening. I feel like I have it together, but do need therapy occasionally to deal with things I struggle with due to my personality type. I’m really glad to have found BetterHelp and have recommended it to friends and family.

I have been talking to Lanita for about a month now, and she is wonderful. Not only does she make me feel heard but she gives me positive reassurance and helps me put all aspects into perspective. She has given me excellent insight and techniques that I apply to my day to day life and I am very thankful for her.

Mrs. Carter is amazing. From day 1 she has been a great help. I absolutely love her.

Lanita is awesome! She is super kind and understanding and really takes the time to listen and comprehend what your saying and any trouble your having. I can tell that she really cares and she has been such a big help.

Mrs. Carter has been amazing and helpful.

Lanita was wonderful to work with. She is very knowledgeable and empathic but also professional. I am glad to have been paired with her during my tough times.

Lanita is a warm, welcoming presence. She allows you to feel heard. She's the reality filter I needed!

I have been working with Lanita for about three weeks now. And she has given me many helpful tools and support in my healing process. She creates a safe space for the patient and that is essential, especially when getting to know a new person. I highly recommend her because it is evident that to her, this is more than just a paycheck, it is a passion of hers. To help people.

Lanita is a very thoughtful and caring therapist. She is a great listener and offers sound advice and exercises.

Lanita is incredibly thoughtful and shows up with presence, honesty, and care for every session. Speaking with her has helped me with some significant hurdles I struggled to clear without help. I am very grateful for Lanitas listening ear and keen feedback.

Lanita is an amazing, rare type of person who has the perfect balance of compassion and the ability to tell when I'm looking for advice versus when I'm looking for an ear. Over the almost year I've been with her she's helped me to maintain a positive attitude when I thought it impossible and look at things in new ways, dealing with my anxieties and doubts surrounding myself and my situation. She's always warm, welcoming, and happy to talk to you.

Great listener and gives good advice. I feel really comfortable talking with her.

Lanita is a very good listener and helps me feel better ! Thank you

Lanita is a very caring person. I learned a lot from her. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques were only part of it. She encouraged me to go out and enjoy myself and not feel guilty about. She reminded me that there is no time limit on grief. I highly recommend her as she knows what she is doing to help you to be better and she gives you the tools you need

I am very thankful for a perfect balance between listening and offering solutions my sessions offer

Very knowledgeable and compassionate. Understanding of my needs and provides valuable feedback.

Lanita gives listens and gives wonderful advise

I really appreciate Lanita's ability to listen and provide supportive responses to me and am eager to work with her to help me figure out a way to deal with some difficulties I am confronting in my marriage. I would strongly recommend Lanita to someone who needs help processing through difficult experiences.

Great listener, calm speaker, helpful tips and exercises.

Mrs.Carter is an absolute joy to speak with. As someone who was very standoffish about therapy to begin with she was the ray of light that I needed in order to get my mind and spirit right again. Thank you for being you!

Lanita is exactly who I’ve been looking for - she’s honest, kind, incredibly helpful and makes me feel safe. I look forward to our sessions and continuing to work with her.

Lanita has a gentleness and kindness to herself that makes her the type of person that you don't want to let down, the kind of person who genuinely believes in you even on days when you don't believe in yourself. She's helped me reach towards that ideal version of myself and my life in meaningful ways and I will always be greatful for that.

An absolute godsend. This has been the most challenging year in my life and Lanita has went above and beyond to guide me through these times and be a wonderful ear. Very grateful for her services.

Lanita , I feel very comfortable talking and I feel I can trust her.

Very kind, respect, great listener, gives me realistic goals and plans towards self improvement. Mrs Carter leaves no doubt in my mind that her interest and expertise will be of great value towards my journey to self improvement.

Lanita offers helpful solutions and is very supportive. Make me feel that someone is there all the time for me, which is already therapeutic.

she Listens and gives great insight

Succinct, persuasive and always professional.

Hands down best most reliable therapist who will listen to you and have you say exactly what you already know you should be doing

Lanita is intentional, kind and compassionate. She listened to me with so much care while helping me challenge my negative emotions. I would recommend her for anyone who needs a cheerleader.

Lanita has been very helpful and I’m glad for her kind demeanor.

Lanita has helped to take leaps which I did not have interest to take in getting into myself and developing me to a better me. Thank you! I am continuing with these improvements and her guidance.

Lanita is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. I always feel heard and seen during our sessions, and she has done a very good job of providing perspective, wisdom, and tools to help me deal with the things that are going on in my life. To be perfectly honest, I never expected to have success in therapy, but Lanita's nature combined with her style of patient care has helped so much. I would recommend her to anybody who is undergoing major life changes and experiencing fear, anxiety, and sadness because of it.

I've had 2 sessions with Lanita so far and plan to continue to meet with her. She has been really great to speak with and makes me really comfortable. I have also experienced her being extremely flexible and understanding with scheduling sessions. And she never rushes to end a session. She makes sure to talk through things and take time to do it. She also checked in on me every few days once I was assigned to her which really encouraged me to schedule my first session with her when I didn't feel like actively doing it initially and was feeling too down and lazy to do it. I liked that she still checked in on me. I really appreciate her approach.

Excellent, highly recommend
