She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and practices from New York. Her 15 years of experience inform a flexible approach that is tuned to each person’s circumstances.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Keisha uses person-centered work alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. Person-centered work means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior ideas teach concrete coping skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Keisha collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they will review what has helped in the past, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
