About Keisha

Keisha Wood is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, and a wide range of mood and life-change concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-informed methods to teach practical skills, boost coping, and support clients working through parenting challenges, career decisions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm, interactive, and individualized; she emphasizes building on a person’s strengths while offering education and tools to increase insight and resilience.

Keisha uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness practices, tailoring each plan to the client’s needs. Her background includes work across outpatient, school-based, hospital, and home health settings, and she began offering online therapy in 2016.

Keisha holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee and practices as an LCSW in Arkansas. She prioritizes respectful, nonjudgmental care that combines support with appropriate challenge so clients can develop lasting strategies for coping and growth.

Approaches that translate to online care

Keisha often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or difficulty coping with life changes. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so sessions can adapt to each person’s pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and she tailors the mix of techniques accordingly so treatment feels relevant and achievable for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to access ongoing support without travel, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use different communication styles as needs change. Keisha’s experience providing online care since 2016 means she routinely adapts interventions so tools and skills can be practiced and reinforced between sessions via the format that works best for the client.
