About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, addictions, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career transitions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes compassion, empathy, and a strengths-oriented approach that aims to listen, encourage, empower, and uplift clients as they navigate life changes and personal challenges. Her background includes work with children, youth, families, foster care, community mental health, and law enforcement partnerships where she has served as a co-responder.
That varied experience informs a culturally sensitive practice that attends to differences in socioeconomic, ethnic, cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds. LaKeisha draws on established methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients define practical goals and develop skills for coping and growth.
Clients can expect a collaborative stance that honors their strengths while addressing patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotion. LaKeisha aims to support people through problem-solving, building resilience, and discovering inner resources to manage stressors and pursue meaningful change.
Approaches that translate well to online care
LaKeisha uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and impulse-related concerns by offering structured tools and practical homework. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and creating a collaborative space where the client's perspective guides the work and emotional processing. Motivational interviewing is another approach she employs to explore ambivalence and support motivation for change, often helpful with addictions, readiness for behavioral shifts, and goal-setting.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LaKeisha discusses goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past to tailor methods and adjust the plan over time, inviting client feedback to ensure alignment with needs and values.
Online therapy with LaKeisha is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Michigan without traveling, allow therapists and clients to use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed, and support continuity during busy or transitional periods.
