She trained in social work at the University of Tennessee, completing a master’s degree in 2005, and has worked in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. Keisha began offering online therapy in 2016 and has continued to include it as part of her practice.

Keisha uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects current life. She incorporates skill teaching and short-term strategies so people leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. She says therapy involves both supportive conversation and gentle challenge to increase awareness of feelings and patterns.
People who contact her can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance about coping skills, problem solving, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, and managing mood or attention differences. Keisha encourages clients to pick practical goals and to track small changes over time.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Keisha combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness methods when working online. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person’s concerns and priorities, and Keisha uses that listening to shape goals and next steps. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, sleep, and emotion regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Keisha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, current problems, and preferences. That means the plan can shift as progress is made or new concerns emerge.
The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into everyday life more easily. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online meetings can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or have a session during a break from work. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping skills, review homework, practice mindfulness, and plan manageable steps for parenting, caregiving, mood, or attention challenges.
