Her background includes a wide range of concerns from addictions and trauma to bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness, grief, attachment issues, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. This variety informs her practical focus in session.
Tekisha blends several evidence-based approaches to suit each person. She uses cognitive techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness and acceptance strategies to manage emotion, and attachment-informed ideas to improve relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s goals.
Tekisha holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and the CSW designation in Georgia. She offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help when someone feels stuck by translating goals into everyday choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a process done together. The therapist will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels helpful and realistic. Clients have a say in which methods are emphasized and how quickly to move between options.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works when internet is limited or bandwidth is a concern, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit care into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
