Background and approach
That work included support for people facing mood and eating concerns, substance use, trauma and abuse, and problems with relationships and intimacy. LaKeshia has also worked with people facing parenting stress, career transitions, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. In sessions she draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally focused ideas.
Those methods are used to help people understand thought and behavior patterns, manage strong emotions, and improve communication in close relationships. She adapts what she uses to fit each person’s goals and situation. LaKeshia emphasizes collaboration and practical skills.
Together with a client she identifies strengths, sets small goals, and practices new ways of coping between meetings. She aims to make therapy a place for honest conversation and steady progress. Her practice also addresses a range of concerns such as addictions, LGBT issues, anger, parenting challenges, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and adjusting to major life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Mississippi.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people name what matters most to them. This approach can help with stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with anger, mood swings, and self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods in collaboration with the client. This shared process helps clarify what feels most helpful and builds a plan that fits individual needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexible options. Video calls let people talk face to face when that helps, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support brief reflections or ongoing skill practice between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
