About Keisha
Keisha Cherrington is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, anger, and other life changes. She sees clients who are coping with trauma or abuse and those managing mood or self-esteem challenges.
Keisha uses a person-centered style in sessions. That means she listens first and helps people name what matters to them. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior methods to teach practical skills for emotional regulation.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life problems. Keisha will help you identify patterns that lead to repeated arguments, workplace frustration, or building resentment. She works on skills for calming down, communicating clearly, and repairing relationships when things escalate.
Her approach balances short-term skill building with attention to deeper issues such as grief, trauma, or long-term mood concerns. Expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and skills practice you can use between sessions. Keisha explains techniques in plain language and checks in about how each tool is working.
Her background spans different counseling settings and many presenting concerns. If you want to address anger that shows up at home or work, or reduce the stress that fuels it, she helps people practice new ways of responding.

How her approaches translate to online work
Keisha uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, which focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods are useful for anger that grows from negative thinking, workplace stress, or cycles of criticism and blame.She also uses dialectical behavior strategies that teach concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are practical to practice between sessions and can reduce impulsive reactions when frustration mounts.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Keisha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try techniques that fit their situation. If a method does not feel helpful, she reviews and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also let people practice communication skills in day-to-day routines and bring real examples from work or home into the session for immediate feedback.
