Welcome,
My name is Lakisha (Kennedy) Hudson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for the state of South Carolina. I have 10 years of Clinical Counseling experience working with adults and children who seeks professional help for depression, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, adjustment disorder, anger, attention-deficit/hyper activity disorder (ADHD), relationship issues, parenting problems, and trauma. My therapeutic background has allowed me to work with diverse populations in various settings, such as for non-profited organizations, schools, correctional facilities and private practice (In-Person and Telehealth services) Recently, I became licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida and excited about gaining ongoing training, knowledge and experience as a Mental Health Professional to be able to provide the services I need to help better the lives of my clients.
My therapy style brings forth empathy, humor, and a person-centered approach to clients who I work with. My therapeutic approach and compassion in the helping process allows me to build rapport and meet clients right where they are. I believe in treating each individual client with the respect they deserve, therefore, the service I provide is non-stigmatizing and confidential. My clinical approach consists of Trauma-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I will process with each client individually while utilizing these evidence-based practices, to ensure I meet their needs specifically, as every client is unique.

Lakisha is hands down the best therapist I’ve ever had. I look forward to our sessions every week and feel like I have a safe space that I have never had before. She’s so genuine, and I’m grateful to have her to guide me on my mental health journey.

The first time I spoke to her I felt like we had known each other for some time. She made me feel comfortable sharing and understood things about me and my situation. She provided the guidance and the reassurance I needed. Thank you!

Of ALL of the Better Help counselors I could have been matched with, Lakisha is such a perfect match! She truly hears - even the things I’m not saying- and she has an intuitive sense that goes beyond what can be learned in a program, or even in years of experience. Lakisha has been such a gift/ encouragement at this time in my life, when I have felt so vulnerable. She is a good balance between being a cheerleader and a teacher. I’ve experienced many years (maybe 15-20 total) of different counselors, therapists… and Lakisha is one that stands out, as the results we are getting by working together are like compounded interest of life progress!
