About LaKeesha
Psychologist (Maryland) with 13 years of experience, Dr. LaKeesha Woods focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and parenting concerns. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to help people address immediate problems and build practical skills.
Dr. Woods meets individuals where they are and starts by listening to what matters most. She identifies strengths, clarifies priorities, and works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions include concrete tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and short-term solution strategies when useful.
Her work includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, mood disorders, and issues around self-esteem and identity. She also addresses family problems, domestic violence, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on mental health. She discusses forgiveness, guilt, and life purpose as part of broader emotional work.
Dr. Woods uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build commitment to new habits. That method pairs with cognitive work when clients need to shift patterns of thought and behavior. Solution-focused techniques are used to move from problem statements to small, testable steps toward change.
Her practice takes multicultural experience into account. She invites conversations about cultural identity and how it affects mood, relationships, and recovery. People who want to begin can complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session to review goals and options.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace of work. This approach helps people clarify values and choose goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find personal motivation for change and build small steps toward new habits. It pairs well with cognitive techniques when someone needs both motivation and practical tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and current concerns and then recommend methods to try. That collaboration can include trying different techniques until a good fit is found.
