How her approaches translate to online therapy
Keisha often uses Client-Centered Therapy to start, which means she listens to what the client most wants to change and shapes sessions around those goals. This approach helps people who need a gentle, paced way to work through stress, grief, or relationship concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it fits the situation, using straightforward exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that feel stuck in recurring patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keisha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises and mindfulness practices over several sessions.
