Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Lakesa Mace has been in practice 12 years and is licensed in Texas. Lakesa lists stress, Anxiety, grief and anger management among 17 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Lakesa's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Lakesa works with
Lakesa lists 5 specialisms and 12 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Lakesa chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Lakesa's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist Oklahoma and Texas, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to cultivate self-love, navigate communication challenges, and heal from experiences of stress, anxiety, and trauma.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and social anxiety. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey, with a particular focus on supporting women through transformative personal growth.
My therapeutic work emphasizes understanding and healing emotional wounds, helping clients develop healthier coping mechanisms, and building resilience. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and rediscover their inner strength.
Through evidence-based practices and a person-centered approach, I aim to guide clients toward meaningful personal transformation, emotional balance, and a more fulfilling life.

03 · How Lakesa works
These are the clinical methods Lakesa lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Lakesa's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Lakesa runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Lakesa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lakesa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lakesa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lakesa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lakesa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
05 · Before you commit
Built from what Lakesa actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Lakesa's - Lakesa has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
