How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Keisha blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that work well over distance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set goals that matter to them. It supports conversations about what is getting in the way of daily functioning and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of responding to stress and anger.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity. These short practices can be used between sessions to manage moments of frustration or rumination. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process; Keisha works with each person to select approaches that match their goals, preferences, and life demands.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. In practical terms, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady progress without long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so therapy stays focused on clear, achievable steps.
