About Keisha
Keisha Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience in mental health care. She practices in Kentucky and works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. Keisha draws on clinical experience and a doctorate in social work to guide sessions with clear, practical goals.
Clients meet someone who uses evidence-based techniques and trauma-informed thinking. Keisha pays attention to how identity and cultural background affect feelings and behavior. She treats problems such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, mood disorders, and isolation with straightforward strategies rather than jargon.
Her approach is collaborative. Keisha listens to what is most important, then helps people try steps that can reduce reactivity, build coping skills, and improve communication. She also addresses attachment and family of origin issues that often feed anger or control problems.
Keisha has experience supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and a range of anxiety and phobic symptoms. She works on practical skills for impulsivity and obsessive-compulsive behaviors as well as the emotional patterns behind them.
Sessions focus on clear tools and real-life practice. Keisha helps clients translate talk into small, manageable behavior changes. That makes it easier to test what works between sessions and adjust the plan as needed.
How evidence-based methods are used online
Keisha uses a few evidence-based methods in her work and explains them in plain terms. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice thoughts that fuel anger and try small experiments to change those reactions. This approach is useful for panic, obsessive thinking, and pattern-driven moods.She also uses skills-based strategies for mood regulation and impulse control. These include step-by-step practices that reduce reactivity, improve emotional awareness, and teach calmer ways to respond during conflict. Those skills are practical for stress, irritability, and problems with control or impulsivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Keisha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and everyday life. She checks progress and adjusts techniques based on what helps most.

Therapists can also adapt exercises so people practice skills between appointments and bring real situations back into sessions for focused problem solving.
