About LaKeisha
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of experience, LaKeisha Blackwell focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, career and coping with life changes.

LaKeisha uses straightforward talk and practical techniques in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of goals. Motivational interviewing helps when people are unsure about change, and solution-focused methods help set clear, short-term steps.
Before her current work she spent time with law enforcement as a co-responder and has experience in foster care and community mental health settings. That background inform her approach to first responder stress and related concerns. She notes experience across varied socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.
In a session LaKeisha will ask concrete questions, reflect what she hears, and suggest small, testable changes. She aims to build on strengths people already have and to set practical goals you can try between meetings.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s concerns and reflects them back so goals emerge from the conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises. Online work can include reviewing thought records, practicing new skills, and setting clear between-session tasks that fit into daily life. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify mixed feelings about change. It uses short, focused conversations to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and plan small next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit the issue, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing practical exercises between meetings and applying new skills directly in everyday settings.
