Tikita Ficklin, LPC

Tikita Ficklin is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, licensed in Georgia with nine years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse. Tikita also focuses on forgiveness, life purpose, and learning self-love.

She trained at Mercer University, where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Human Service and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She also completed three years of doctoral study in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. Her academic background informs a practical approach to talking and planning.

In sessions she leans on clear, goal-oriented methods. Clients can expect conversations that identify patterns, set small goals, and test new ways of reacting to triggers. She mixes client-centered listening with techniques that change thinking and behavior when needed.

Tikita uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people find motivation and quick, doable steps forward. These methods are aimed at reducing reactivity, rebuilding confidence, and restoring clearer relationships.

Her approach is straightforward and action-focused. She helps people name what’s getting in the way, try new responses, and notice what changes. To begin, a prospective client follows the site's matching steps and schedules a first session.
