About Keeyana
Keeyana McLish is an Alabama-licensed professional counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Keeyana emphasizes the client's own knowledge and strengths when addressing what feels hard right now.
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people break down problems into manageable steps. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep difficulties going and on trying practical alternatives. That often means setting small goals, testing new ways of communicating, and working through painful feelings about past relationships.
Keeyana blends a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques. The client-centered side means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. The CBT side means she and the client look at unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding.
Her listed focus areas include attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, commitment and communication struggles, jealousy and infidelity, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also addresses fatherhood-related concerns and family conflict in individual sessions.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still allowing space to talk through emotions. Keeyana encourages small experiments between sessions so clients can notice what changes and what does not. The work is paced to the individual and aims to make everyday life feel more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what the client says matters most. In practice this means sessions begin with open conversation and the therapist reflects back what she hears to clarify priorities and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. It uses short experiments and homework tasks to test new responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Keeyana will collaborate with each client to decide whether more client-centered conversation or more CBT-style exercises suit their goals. The match can change over time as needs shift.
