Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support short-term goals and stronger motivation to change. LaKeisha has worked with law enforcement settings, foster care, and community mental health programs, and emphasizes cultural awareness in her work. She also focuses on caregiver stress, first responder issues, communication problems, impulsivity, self-love, forgiveness, women’s concerns, and young adult issues.
In sessions she aims to be direct and compassionate, helping people set achievable goals and track progress. Her style is practical and warm, with attention to each person's values and real-life constraints.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and understood. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, mirrors concerns, and helps clients clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. CBT via video or phone often includes worksheets, behavior experiments, and homework that can be reviewed together during the session.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then recommend methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and client feedback so the work fits each person's needs.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let people connect face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good fit when lower bandwidth or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, short problem solving, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep up regular momentum between sessions.
