Keisha Wood , LCSW

Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, and other life challenges. She brings 18 years of social work experience and a warm, interactive approach to each conversation. Keisha aims to help people build practical skills and clearer thinking so they can move forward with daily life.

Keisha earned a Master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee and began practicing in 2003. She has worked in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. That broad background gives her experience with a wide range of problems across the lifespan.

Her style is relaxed and individualized. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on building from existing strengths. Keisha uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods to create plans that fit each person’s goals.

In sessions she balances support with gentle challenge. Conversations can include learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindfulness exercises, and developing strategies for better sleep, eating, or managing mood. She emphasizes education so people leave sessions with usable tools.

Keisha started offering online therapy in 2016 and continues to use those skills. She encourages anyone facing life changes, parenting stress, addiction, ADHD, or caregiver strain to consider therapy as a place to build resilience and clearer direction.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Keisha uses client-centered therapy to make sessions about the person’s needs and goals. That approach emphasizes listening, building trust, and guiding conversations so people feel understood and can choose the direction of work.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people learn practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping habits for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha will discuss goals and preferences with each person, try techniques that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps most. She tailors methods to the individual rather than using one fixed style.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing, want flexible check-ins, or need quick support between sessions.
