    About LaKeisha

    LaKeisha Blackwell is an LPC with 15 years of clinical experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, intimacy questions, parenting strain, career changes, and other life transitions. She emphasizes listening and encouragement first. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and find practical steps forward.

    Her background includes work alongside law enforcement as a co-responder and roles in foster care and community mental health. That work gave experience with people from many socioeconomic, cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds. Cultural awareness and sensitivity are central to how she practices.

    LaKeisha draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support change, Client-Centered Therapy to focus on a person’s goals, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused techniques help set concrete, short-term goals.

    Sessions are aimed at practical problem solving and emotional support. She listens first, then helps people identify small, achievable steps they can try between sessions. The tone is encouraging and straightforward.

    People who reach out will be invited to set clear goals and track progress. LaKeisha works to make therapy relevant to daily life so gains can carry over outside the room. She offers guidance while respecting each person’s pace and preferences.

  2. How her approaches translate to online care

    LaKeisha uses Motivational Interviewing to help people build motivation for change by exploring goals and ambivalence in a supportive way. This approach can be useful for addictive behaviors, impulsivity, and any situation where making a change feels difficult.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and following a person’s priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and offers concrete strategies to try. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns of behavior that cause stress.

    Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. LaKeisha will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what is helpful. Expect shared decision making about techniques and pacing.

    The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt Motivational Interviewing and CBT exercises to work well in remote sessions while keeping the focus on real-world steps between meetings.
