About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with young adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and the transitions that come with early adulthood. She also supports people dealing with relationships, family conflict, grief, trauma, and career uncertainty.
LaKeisha uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people break down problems. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's perspective, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are part of how she helps clients set achievable goals and make changes.
Her background includes work with law enforcement as a co-responder and experience across community mental health, foster care, and varied cultural and socioeconomic settings. That work informs her approach to first responder stress and caregiver burden. LaKeisha lists first responder issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems among additional focus areas.
Sessions tend to emphasize practical steps and brief goal-setting, with room to talk about the emotions underneath. She helps people who feel stuck after school, early in a career, or during big life changes to create manageable plans and clearer priorities.

How her approaches are used online
LaKeisha often combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical work with clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client's view and building sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to change those patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and to find internal motivation. That approach can be useful for issues like addictions, impulsivity, or making career shifts. Across approaches she works collaboratively, asking about goals and preferences and adjusting methods as those goals evolve.
If you want online sessions, confirm the available formats during the sign-up process since the biography does not list session types. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also use focused skill-building exercises over video or phone and follow up with goal-oriented plans to use between sessions.
