About Keisha
Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) based in Arkansas who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She takes a warm, interactive approach that focuses on building practical skills and using a personcentered conversation to find what works for each client.
She has worked in social work since 2003 and earned her Masters degree in social work from the University of Tennessee in 2005.
Background and approach
Over nearly two decades she has practiced in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. She began offering online therapy in 2016 and continues to include remote care in her work. Sessions are conversational but goal oriented.
Keisha draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new skills, and manage difficult emotions. She also uses trauma-focused ideas when past events are still affecting daily life. Clients can expect both support and gentle challenge.
Keisha aims to build on strengths and teach tools that make coping easier between sessions. She emphasizes education so people leave with clear strategies they can use on their own. Keisha describes her style as relaxed, respectful, and without judgment.
She encourages people to choose a therapist they feel comfortable with and says reaching out for help is an important first step toward change and a more manageable life.
How Keisha Uses Approaches Online
Keisha often blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the client's goals and priorities, and the therapist follows their lead while offering empathy and practical help. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Keisha collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit best, adjusting plans based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She uses both supportive listening and skill-building exercises so clients know what to practice between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or brief problem-solving easier to fit into a busy day. These options help make therapy more accessible and adaptable to each person's routine.
