About Lekeisha
Lekeisha Newbold, LPC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. She takes a straightforward, caring approach so parents can understand what to expect. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try right away.
She aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming for someone reaching out. Newbold draws on a strengths-based, whole-person perspective. That means she looks at emotions, body responses, social needs, and personal values together.
Background and approach
Sessions often identify existing tools a person already uses and build from there. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Michigan and has five years of clinical practice.
Early in her career she provided home-based supports for children with severe emotional challenges and their families. She also has more than ten years of experience working with women during pregnancy and after birth. In sessions she combines client-centered conversations with concrete techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work.
Motivational interviewing is used to help people set goals and find their own reasons to change. The result is a mix of listening and practical planning. She offers options for those who prefer faith-informed counseling as well as strictly clinical approaches.
Parents who worry about behavior, attention, or transitions can expect clear, short-term strategies and steady support. Newbold aims to help people feel more able to manage daily life and parenting demands.
How her approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the client's perspective and strengths, with the therapist following the client's lead to build trust and understanding. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through parenting challenges, mood changes, or daily stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and set realistic goals. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about how to move forward, and it pairs well with solution-focused planning.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skill-building from CBT, or goal-directed steps from motivational and solution-focused methods.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or between-session coaching into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and try methods that match real-life schedules.
