Background and approach

DeKeitra also works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, guilt, and shame. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns and take small steps toward feeling more confident and connected. Conversations often focus on real-life choices and manageable changes.

He is attentive to questions of sexuality and identity and supports people navigating those concerns without judgment. The approach is collaborative - he listens first, then offers ideas that fit each person’s situation. Sessions are offered entirely in English and are based in Louisiana.

He uses a subscription session model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Brief descriptions of common evidence-based techniques help set expectations. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills and practical routines that reduce anxiety and stress; sessions work on breath, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to make everyday life feel more manageable. Another approach centers on processing trauma and the lasting effects of abuse by helping people name difficult memories, reduce overwhelming reactions, and build safety in daily life. These methods target symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and hypervigilance while emphasizing pacing and choice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on their goals and comfort. Together they review what is helping, what feels hard, and adjust techniques so progress is steady and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support short check-ins, homework discussion, and ongoing encouragement between sessions.
