Background and approach
Keisha began doing therapy online in 2016 and maintains a independent practice in Arkansas in addition to remote work. Her background includes supporting people across the lifespan in a variety of settings. Keisha uses a collaborative style that blends client-centered conversation with techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
Sessions focus on teaching skills, building insight, and experimenting with new behaviors between meetings. She describes her style as relaxed but purposeful, offering both support and gentle challenge. Parents especially may appreciate her practical focus on coping skills for sleep, eating, mood, and behavior concerns.
She tailors plans to each person’s daily life, helping them try small changes that add up. Keisha emphasizes respect, empathy, and a nondirective stance while guiding clients toward clearer goals. People who choose her work can expect a mix of talk, skill-building, and homework suited to their needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work emphasizes the person’s goals and lived experience. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice strengths they already use to cope. This is useful for parents and individuals wanting collaborative, respectful conversation about real problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating issues.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Those exercises are brief and easy to use during a busy day or when stress starts to rise.
Keisha works with each client to find the best fit. She reviews goals, preferences, and needs and then recommends an approach or a blend. Finding what helps is a team effort and may change over time as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling family, work, and caregiving. Video calls approximate an in-person session for interactive work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and written reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
