About Keisha
Keisha Wood is an LCSW - Licensed Certified Social Worker in Arkansas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, self-esteem, and related concerns. Keisha draws on practical techniques so people can handle day-to-day problems more effectively.
Keisha uses a straightforward, interactive style that builds on strengths people already have. Sessions focus on learning skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new responses. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused ideas to help with emotional regulation and coping.
Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. Keisha earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee in 2005 and began working in social work in 2003. She began offering online therapy in 2016 and continues to use a mix of in-person and remote methods outside of her private practice.
In sessions she combines teaching with active feedback. People are asked to try strategies between meetings and report what helps. The emphasis is on clear tools - thought tracking, relaxation and grounding, and stepwise behavior changes - rather than abstract theory.
Keisha aims to treat concerns directly and respectfully. She encourages practical steps to reduce anger, manage stress, improve sleep, or work toward career and parenting goals. Her approach includes education, skill practice, and regular review of progress to see what is working and what needs to change.
How Keisha’s approaches translate to online work
Keisha uses client-centered ideas and cognitive-behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths to set goals and decide next steps. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practice involves simple exercises in attention and breathing to reduce reactivity and improve focus during heated moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Keisha will help figure out which methods fit best by working with the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than sticking to one method.
