About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief. Her listing highlights parenting, intimacy-related issues, career changes, caregiver stress, communication problems, first responder issues, and support for young adults and women.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in session. She listens to what is happening now, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and tests practical ways to respond differently. Sessions often include short exercises, feedback, and planning for changes between meetings.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide how goals are set and how progress is tracked, with attention to the client’s everyday life and immediate concerns.
LaKeisha has experience with law enforcement communities and foster care settings, and she has worked in community mental health. That background informs how she supports people facing workplace stress, trauma related to first responder duties, and complex life transitions.
People meet her for help managing strong emotions, improving communication, coping with loss, and making concrete changes in habits. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How her approaches translate to online work
LaKeisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include concrete tasks, short experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or alter impulsive responses.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their own goals and make decisions. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation in small, practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. LaKeisha will review goals and preferences with the client and suggest methods that fit their needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, problem solving, or building motivation first.
The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time.

Online sessions are often used to maintain momentum between in-person contacts and to try brief check-ins when life is busy.
