About Keisha
Keisha has worked in social work since 2003 and earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee in 2005. She has experience in outpatient, school-based, hospital, and home health settings. That range informs the way she adapts her approach to different needs.
Her counseling style is relaxed and individualized. Keisha uses client-centered conversations that encourage insight and self-awareness. She mixes cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to teach tools people can use between sessions.
In sessions she balances support with gentle challenge so clients can develop coping skills and build resilience. Therapy focuses on concrete steps, not just talking, so people leave with strategies for managing emotions and behavior.
Keisha began offering online therapy in 2016 and also maintains a private practice. She emphasizes respect, empathy, and nonjudgment in every interaction. She welcomes people who are ready to take steps toward change and a more satisfying life.

How therapy approaches shape online work
Keisha uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on each person's goals and perspective. This approach means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client and sessions adapt to individual needs.She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT techniques help people break unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to stress, anger, or mood problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods and exercises to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. Keisha began offering online therapy in 2016 and brings the same practical, skills-focused approach to remote sessions as she does in person.
