About LaKeisha

LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and addictions. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy questions, parenting stresses, career strain, and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and people-focused. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and practical steps. She listens to what is happening now, then works with clients to identify patterns and test new ways of responding to triggers like irritation, resentment, or impulsivity.

LaKeisha draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger or anxiety. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when clients want short-term changes or clearer next steps.

Her background includes work with law enforcement as a co-responder and roles in foster care and community mental health. That experience informs how she talks about first responder issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Cultural sensitivity is part of her practice, and sessions are conducted in English.

People who come for help with anger can expect practical tools, behavioral experiments, and goal-oriented conversations. LaKeisha encourages responsibility for choices while helping clients reframe setbacks as chances to learn. For next steps, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

LaKeisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger. CBT sessions often involve tracking triggers, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new ways of thinking about stressful situations.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience and goals. This approach supports exploring feelings and choosing what to work on next. Motivational Interviewing can be used when someone wants to build momentum for change and needs help clarifying reasons to act.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapy process. She will work collaboratively to decide which approach fits the client's goals and preferences, and may adjust methods as needs shift over time.

Session-format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a workday or caregiving routine. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what a person needs.
