About LaKeisha

LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, attention challenges, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses caregiving stress, communication problems, first responder concerns, impulsivity, and women's and young adult issues.

LaKeisha uses straightforward conversations and practical strategies. She listens to what’s happening now, and helps people spot patterns that make anger and frustration worse. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term skill building, and changes people can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centered work that keeps the person’s values central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thinking and behavior cycles that fuel anger and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing supports change when motivation feels mixed, and Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific next steps.

She has worked alongside law enforcement as a co-responder and has experience with first responder issues and community mental health settings. That background informs practical strategies for stressful jobs and high-pressure moments. LaKeisha also brings experience with grief, trauma, and parenting concerns in adults.

People can expect clear communication about goals and options in sessions. LaKeisha encourages testing a few techniques to see what fits. She asks clients to try small changes between meetings and then reviews what worked and what didn’t in the next session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and priorities. In online sessions this means conversations focus on what the client wants to change and which strategies feel realistic for their life. It is useful for sorting out relationship stress, caregiving strain, and personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with specific skills. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises, thought records, and action steps to practice between meetings to manage anger and anxiety.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. In virtual sessions this approach uses reflective questions and collaborative planning to boost readiness and clarify next steps that fit the client’s priorities.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help identify which approaches match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy schedules, allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and eliminates travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to try tools between sessions and bring real situations into discussion during the next appointment.
