About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, and parenting challenges. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a practical, compassionate approach to each session. Parents and caregivers will find her focused on real-life solutions and everyday coping skills.
She uses clear, direct conversation to uncover what is getting in the way at home and at work.
Background and approach
Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior, and focus on small steps that make daily life easier. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to listen and validate, and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking. Her background includes work with law enforcement as a co-responder and experience in foster care, community mental health, and varied community settings.
That history shapes an approach that values cultural awareness and practical strategies that fit different life situations. She also pays attention to caregiver stress and the pressures faced by those supporting others. In sessions she often uses Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals.
Conversations center on strengths and steps that can be tried between visits. The aim is to boost coping, improve communication, and reduce conflict. LaKeisha practices in Michigan and conducts work in English.
She is straightforward and warm, and aims to help clients find clearer routines, calmer reactions, and more confidence as they navigate parenting and life changes.

Approaches for online parenting and life challenges
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and builds a trusting working relationship that supports change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve parenting routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and support, practical CBT tools, or techniques from Motivational Interviewing or Solution-Focused Therapy as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, on-the-go problem-solving, or when writing out thoughts helps clarify feelings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule while working with licensed professionals.
