About Keeyana

Keeyana McLish is an Alabama-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on practical, evidence-informed strategies while treating each person as the expert of their own life, encouraging clients to build on their strengths to address obstacles and reach goals.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and respectful guidance; she supports clients through life transitions and common relational concerns such as communication problems, commitment and attachment issues, and complications that arise in blended families. Keeyana also addresses wounds related to abandonment, guilt and shame, infidelity, and isolation with empathy and clear techniques.

Using approaches rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered principles, she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns while honoring individual values and priorities. Keeyana frames change as a courageous, step-by-step process and offers steady support as clients pursue a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Practical approaches for online growth



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. It offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depressive symptoms, stress, and pattern-based relationship problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and strengths, creating a supportive space where goals and values guide the work and the therapist follows the client's lead.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keeyana will work with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds and inviting client feedback throughout treatment.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance, teach practical skills, and offer regular check-ins in ways that match a client's routine and communication style.
