Background and approach
Cultural sensitivity is a clear part of how she practices. In sessions she focuses on clear, doable goals. She uses Client-Centered methods to create a respectful space and Solution-Focused methods to identify immediate steps that help.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. LaKeisha also uses Motivational Interviewing when people are making changes related to addictions, impulsivity, or caregiving stress. She emphasizes small, realistic shifts that fit each person's life.
Her style is encouraging and practical rather than lecturing. People who seek her help can expect straightforward talk about goals, barriers, and next steps. She aims to encourage strength and resilience while working toward clearer routines and healthier patterns.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows your pace, reflects what you say, and helps you identify your own priorities and strengths. This approach is useful for people who want an understanding space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and simple skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage impulse control, and improve mood. CBT works well for problem-focused goals like organizing routines or managing ADHD-related challenges.
LaKeisha will collaborate with clients to decide which approach or combination fits best. She checks goals, preferences, and daily life when choosing methods so therapy stays relevant and manageable. Finding the right approach is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to have shorter check-ins, jot down thoughts, or fit a session into a busy day. These formats let people maintain continuity of care and shape therapy around their schedules.
