About LaKeisha

LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, and life changes.

Background and approach

She brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work and emphasizes compassion, empathy, and encouragement while supporting clients through practical problem solving and emotional processing. Her background includes work with children, youth, families, foster care, community mental health, and law enforcement settings where she served as a co-responder and is recognized as a Certified First Responder Counselor.

That range of experience informs a culturally sensitive approach that attends to diverse socioeconomic, ethnic, cultural, and religious perspectives. LaKeisha uses evidence-informed methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify strengths, set goals, and develop skills for coping and change.

She aims to create a supportive environment that encourages self-discovery and resiliency while addressing concerns like impulsivity, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, self-love, women's issues, and young adult challenges. Her practice style blends warmth with practical strategies to help clients move forward.

Approaches that guide online work and flexible care

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own values and perspective, offering attentive listening and collaborative goal-setting to support issues such as self-esteem, relationship concerns, and caregiving stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, anger, and impulsivity by teaching practical skills and exercises to practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially useful for addictions, career transitions, or self-improvement goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best match personal needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so treatment feels tailored and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and people with limited local access to services. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between appointments while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
