LaKeisha Blackwell

LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges tied to relationships and parenting. She also supports those coping with ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, career transitions, and life changes. LaKeisha lists women's issues among her focus areas and pays attention to caregiver stress and communication problems.

LaKeisha draws on 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked in community mental health, foster care, and alongside law enforcement as a co-responder. That work includes supporting first responders and offering care informed by a range of life experiences and backgrounds.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small, manageable steps.

Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to change but feels unsure how to start. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Sessions emphasize real strategies people can use between meetings.

LaKeisha values cultural awareness and aims to create a respectful space for people from different racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. She invites people to talk about what matters most and to build skills that fit their everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions can still center on the client's priorities, with the therapist reflecting concerns and pacing progress around each person's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and practice tasks between meetings to help reduce anxiety, manage depression, or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods from these approaches to fit the situation. That collaborative process helps choose what to try first and what to adjust over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others use longer sessions to dig into complex problems. Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking to know how sessions are delivered. Online work aims to make therapy practical and usable in daily life without promising a specific outcome.
