About Fameika

Fameika Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 14 years of experience. She has spent much of her career in mental health, helping people who face depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addiction, and traumatic stress. Her work has included supporting active duty military and veterans as well as individuals dealing with relationship and family concerns.

She approaches counseling with respect and compassion. Sessions are interactive and aimed at understanding who the person is and what they are struggling with. Fameika focuses on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her background includes a range of therapeutic ideas, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work. She draws on these approaches to help people manage symptoms, change unhelpful patterns, and cope with major life changes. This includes support for coping with natural or human-caused disaster-related stress.

Fameika has experience helping with grief, anger, communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and issues that arise after abuse or infidelity. She also works with first responders and veterans on concerns related to their service.

In therapy she collaborates on goals and builds a plan that fits each person. She encourages practical steps, honest conversation, and steady progress toward clearer thinking and healthier behavior.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Fameika uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete skills and experiments people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address addictive patterns.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address reactions after traumatic events. That work often involves gradual, supported ways of processing painful memories and learning coping strategies for intense emotions and reminders.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques to fit your situation. Goals and plans are revisited so the work remains practical and relevant.

If you plan to pursue online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist's clinical approaches translate well to remote work because they emphasize conversation, structured exercises, and step-by-step practice. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to follow up on tasks between meetings. Confirm the specific formats available when you schedule so sessions fit your routine.
