About Keesha
Keesha Barthelemy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings three years of clinical experience and focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress and anxiety. Keesha speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth.
Her background includes work with people facing addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem challenges, and ADHD.
Background and approach
That range means she often helps people juggling more than one concern at once, such as substance use with mood symptoms or relationship strain alongside stress. Keesha uses client-centered methods to shape sessions around each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Mindfulness and motivational strategies are added when people want skills for stress reduction or to stay focused on goals. Her style is organized and personable. Keesha aims to build trust quickly and work collaboratively on concrete tools.
Sessions tend to be practical - talking through problems, practicing skills, and setting small steps to try between meetings. People who reach out can expect a direct but warm approach. Keesha helps with everyday coping, relapse prevention, parenting challenges, and managing anxiety so daily life feels more manageable.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace so goals come from what matters most to the individual. This approach supports people who need a compassionate space to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In short sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and many mood-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Keesha will collaborate with each person to combine methods that fit their needs and goals. That way the focus can shift as problems change or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when deeper conversation helps. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or fit shorter touchpoints into a busy day.
