Background and approach
She brings 18 years of experience across outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. She began offering online therapy in 2016 and continues to use remote formats alongside other work. Her sessions are interactive and tailored to each person.
Keisha helps people build on their strengths and learn tools to cope better. She uses clear teaching, skill building, and discussion to create a plan that fits daily life. In practice she draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and trauma-focused ideas.
Keisha balances support with gentle challenge so clients gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She emphasizes practical strategies for coping, mood regulation, sleep, and self-care. Keisha aims to treat everyone with dignity, respect, and empathy.
She encourages people to be selective when choosing a therapist and offers collaborative work to reach goals. Reaching out is a first step, and she focuses on helping people move toward clearer thinking and better coping.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs empathy, listening, and a collaborative plan for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and changing patterns that keep stress high.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches paying attention to the present moment through simple practices. This can lower reactivity, reduce worry, and improve focus in daily life.
Choosing the right approach 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 which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people share between sessions, get brief coaching, or check in during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
