About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC, focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and the problems that often come with them. She listens with empathy and encourages practical steps that fit each person's life. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at easing day-to-day strain and building coping skills.
She uses clear, evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns that keep stress and worry active. She also relies on client-centered techniques to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to make a change but is unsure how to begin. Over 15 years she has worked in community mental health, foster care settings, and alongside law enforcement as a co-responder. That background has shaped a focus on real-world problems like workplace stress, caregiving strain, trauma and first responder issues.
Her work also includes concerns such as depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship or parenting stress. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, workable steps that people can try between meetings. She values cultural sensitivity and respects each person's background and beliefs.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. LaKeisha invites people to talk about what matters most to them and to build tools that fit their daily life. She aims to help clients find more calm, better communication, and clearer directions for moving forward.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and figure out priorities at their own pace, which works well in video or chat formats. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them; CBT is easy to practice between sessions and to review during phone or video meetings. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation one step at a time.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how they like to work. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan if something does not fit, keeping the focus on what helps most in daily life.
Online therapy offers scheduling flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, notes, or ongoing encouragement. These options make it simpler to get consistent support while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
