About Keisha
She holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee and has worked in outpatient, school-based, hospital, and home health settings. Keisha began offering therapy online in 2016 and also maintains a private practice. Her background includes work with children, families, and adults across the lifespan.
Keisha uses a mix of methods that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused ideas. Sessions emphasize education, skills building, and tailored plans so people leave sessions with tools they can use between meetings.
In sessions she balances support with gentle challenge to help clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy includes concrete strategies for coping, managing emotions, improving sleep and eating patterns, and building resilience after loss or major change.
Keisha describes her style as relaxed and individualized. She invites people to talk through goals and works collaboratively to create a plan that fits their situation and priorities.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Keisha uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals and perspectives. This approach means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client and the therapist listens and adapts the work to individual needs.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keisha collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That partnership helps make sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether that means reducing travel time or fitting meetings around work, school, or caregiving. The biography indicates she has provided online therapy since 2016, so confirm current session options before booking to know exactly which formats are available. Together, therapist and client can plan a schedule and methods that work with everyday routines.
