About Keesha
Keesha Barthelemy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings three years of clinical experience and a practical focus to sessions. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to help people find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming.
Keesha draws on straightforward methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also helps people manage addiction-related struggles and mood challenges such as bipolar symptoms. Money and financial issues are a stated additional focus area she can address in the course of therapy.
Her style is warm and organized. Keesha emphasizes building a working relationship and teaching tools that can be used between sessions. She uses approaches that encourage active problem solving and practical changes, not long lectures or jargon.
In sessions she often uses client-centered listening combined with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit a person's goals. The result is a blend that aims to support clearer choices and steadier emotions.
People who reach out should expect straightforward conversations about goals, patterns, and next steps. Keesha invites clients to try strategies in daily life and then review what helps. This hands-on emphasis is intended to make progress feel useful and relevant.
Approaches that translate into online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them in therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support steadier moods.Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily routines, and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and change the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, or choose a quieter setting. It also allows using short check-ins or longer sessions when that suits the client's schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to an online format so work continues between sessions.
