About Tieesha
Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with 13 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and intimacy-related issues.
Tieesha uses practical conversation to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused ideas to create short-term goals. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new responses, and building daily habits that reduce distress.
Her work often includes straightforward tools for coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and challenges that come with aging. She also supports people facing postpartum mood changes, divorce or separation, and feelings of isolation or jealousy. These topics are handled through clear steps and concrete strategies rather than abstract theory.
Tieesha draws on Motivational Interviewing when people want help deciding what to change and how to stick with it. That approach helps clarify values and set small, achievable steps toward a chosen goal. Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what is working.
Clients can expect direct conversation, goal-setting, and practical homework between sessions. Tieesha keeps language plain and focuses on skills people can use right away. She practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English only.
How CBT and practical methods are used in online sessions
Tieesha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions often involve setting specific goals, tracking moods or behaviors between meetings, and testing new coping skills for anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and letting the person lead the topics that matter most to them. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is deciding what changes to make and how to stick with them; it helps pinpoint values and set small, realistic steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tieesha discusses options with each person and adapts techniques based on the client’s goals and preferences. This collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize thought-focused CBT tools, solution-focused steps, or motivational strategies.
