About Lekeisha
Lekeisha Newbold is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to issues such as abandonment and attachment, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, and isolation.
Her work is straightforward and practical. She listens for the thoughts and habits that keep someone stuck. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavioral changes, and check what works. Sessions often include setting concrete goals and reviewing steps between meetings.
Newbold draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques. She uses motivational interviewing when people want help sorting out ambivalence about change. These methods are used to address symptoms and to build everyday coping skills for managing mood, stress, and relationships.
Before her current practice she spent time as a home-based clinician working with children with severe emotional needs and their families, and she has over ten years of experience supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. That background informs how she approaches parenting and family-of-origin issues.
She identifies as a Christian counselor and offers clinical counseling either from a general clinical viewpoint or from a Christian perspective, depending on client preference. Sessions are conducted in English and take place with a Michigan-based LPC. To confirm current session formats, readers should check the booking options before scheduling.
How her approaches work for online care
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative responses through practical exercises and behavioral experiments; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflecting, and building a working relationship where the person sets the pace and goals.She also uses motivational interviewing when a person has mixed feelings about change. That approach helps clarify priorities and strengthen a person’s own reasons for taking steps forward. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative and evolves from the client’s goals, preferences, and progress over time.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or caretaking schedule, reduce travel time, and let someone join from a quieter location. Different formats can also support shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on needs. Licensed professionals will work with the client to adjust pacing, homework, and goals so the work fits everyday life.
