Background and approach
Lekeisha encourages clear goals and small, manageable changes so progress feels real and steady. Her background includes five years as a mental health clinician. Two of those years were spent as a home-based clinician working with children who had severe emotional needs and their families.
She has more than a decade of experience supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. Lekeisha offers clinical counseling and can integrate a Christian perspective when desired. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and understood.
Sessions move at a person’s pace and focus on practical tools for coping and growth. Typical work includes addressing family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and questions about life purpose.
How Lekeisha Uses Talk Therapy Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's values and priorities. It helps people feel heard and supports growth by building on their existing strengths and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behavior affect mood. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and everyday coping by changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching practical skills. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and work well when camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging let someone check in between sessions or use brief coaching and reminders. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days rather than requiring long commutes.
