Approaches and online options that fit your life
Keisha draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen mood and anxiety. These methods teach practical skills like problem solving, activity planning, and testing unhelpful beliefs. She also uses dialectical behavior techniques to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha will work with each person to set goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. She encourages small experiments so clients can see which tools help most for their situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework support, or short bursts of coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
