Lanita Carter, LPC
About me
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.

I feel like I have known her for years so it is very comfortable to talk to her. I am very fortunate to have her help guide me through this crazy world we are in.

Lanita is very real, listening without judgment, and providing wonderful insight on the connections between physical and mental well-being. She is involved and available, without being pushy, and balances letting you guide the conversation while she provides valuable input. She doesn't make me feel like anything is "wrong" with me. I've only had one session with her, but so far I appreciate what she has done for me and I look forward to learning more about living with a more balanced and healthy mindset as we move forward.

Lanita is absolutely amazing, she helped me in so many ways and as a black man in society she made me very comfortable with being able to express my emotions in a healthy manner

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.
