LaKeisha Blackwell , LPC

LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and issues related to intimacy and parenting. She also provides support for women’s issues, caregivers, first responders, and young adults. Her approach centers on listening, encouragement, and practical steps people can use right away.

LaKeisha keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses tools from client-centered work to make space for each person’s story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Motivational Interviewing supports changes when someone feels stuck or unsure.

Her background includes 15 years in settings such as community mental health, foster care, and work with law enforcement as a co-responder. She has worked with people from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. That experience shapes how she tailors the pace and focus of sessions.

In a session people can expect clear goals and practical strategies. LaKeisha listens for strengths and builds small, manageable steps toward those goals. She integrates problem-solving with emotional support so clients can practice changes between visits.

LaKeisha holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She sees clients from Michigan and offers services in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approaches for change and how online therapy helps

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making the person feel heard and respected. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own answers. This approach is useful for building self-worth and working through feelings such as shame or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thought patterns that lead to anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behavior. Sessions use simple exercises to test those thoughts and try different actions, which can be useful for stress, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they can try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed to fit real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited time. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that depth is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, quick coping tools, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to fit therapy into a workday or caregiving routine.
