About Lucretia
Lucretia Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, anger, and issues related to identity such as LGBT matters. Her tone is direct and warm, aimed at people who want practical progress and steady support.
She trained at Prairie View A&M University and brings 18 years of counseling experience. Her work has included time with adolescents, young adults, and adults from diverse backgrounds, including people in foster care, transitional housing, and survivors of domestic violence. That background shapes how she approaches complex life situations.
In sessions she aims to build a strong, non-judgmental rapport. She listens openly and gives honest feedback while encouraging clients to take action between meetings. She emphasizes accountability alongside empathy to help clients reach clear goals.
Her toolbox includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and creative elements such as art therapy. She adapts her approach to the problem at hand, mixing practical strategies with reflective work.
Choosing to reach out can feel hard, and Reed frames the first steps as collaborative. She asks questions, clarifies goals, and helps people plan manageable next steps so therapy fits into everyday life.
How therapy approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the client and reflecting their experience back. It helps people who need acceptance, clarity, and steady support while they sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and how they affect mood. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and pattern-based problems like negative self-talk or unhelpful reactions in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods together. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skills practice, reflective conversation, mindfulness exercises, or short-term solution work.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let someone use video, phone, or other supported options depending on what the service offers and what suits the client. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when you start so sessions are arranged to work with daily life.
