About Keisha

LCSW in New York with 15 years of experience, Keisha Cherrington focuses on common and complex life stresses. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar disorder, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

Keisha uses straightforward, person-centered work paired with cognitive-behavioral methods and dialectical behavior approaches. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning practical skills, and trying small changes between meetings. She aims to introduce techniques that people can use day to day.

Her background includes long-term work in diverse counseling settings across New York. That experience shaped a focus on practical tools for managing mood and stress. She has supported people facing substance use concerns and trauma reactions in many clinical contexts.

In a session she typically helps a person identify a few clear goals, practice coping strategies, and review what worked or did not between meetings. The pace is adjusted to each person's needs and comfort. Therapy combines skill practice with space to address painful experiences.

Approaches used in online work and practical benefits

Keisha uses cognitive-behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and develop clearer, more effective behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve setting brief goals, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.

She also draws on dialectical behavior approaches that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Those techniques are practical for managing intense feelings, relationship conflict, and patterns that contribute to ongoing stress.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress is reviewed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what fits your routine.
