About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and changes at work or home.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens and helps people name what feels most urgent. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than long theory. She uses approaches that aim for change you can notice between meetings.
LaKeisha draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior that can be adjusted. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is deciding to make difficult changes, and Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on next steps and small wins.
Her background includes work with law enforcement as a co-responder and experience in foster care and community mental health. That history informs how she thinks about caregiver stress, first responder issues, and the pressures many parents face. Cultural awareness is included in how she approaches conversations about identity and context.
In sessions the focus is on clear goals, coping strategies, and communication skills. People meet to talk through specific problems, try new ways of responding, and check progress. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and aims to make conversations relevant to what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide what to address first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for breaking unhelpful reaction patterns in daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment. It can be useful for addictions, impulsivity, and when someone feels stuck about making a change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is seen. That collaborative decision-making helps shape which strategies are used and how sessions proceed.
Session formats are not detailed in the biographical material, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit appointments around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities. Online meetings can make shorter check-ins possible, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend from a quieter location when schedules are tight.
