About Lekeisha
Lekeisha Newbold is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and the challenges of parenting and life changes. Lekeisha also notes additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and issues around isolation and life purpose.
Her style uses client-centered methods. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the person. From there she and the client pick practical steps to address symptoms and make daily life more manageable. She mixes straightforward talk with focused techniques when helpful.
In past roles she provided home-based care for children with severe emotional needs and their caregivers, and supported women through prenatal and postnatal transitions for more than a decade. That background informs how she supports parents and caregivers today. Her Michigan LPC credential is noted up front.
Clients can expect a clinician who draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches are used to reduce overwhelming feelings, improve coping, and set clear goals for change. Sessions aim to identify strengths and build on them.
She offers standard therapeutic conversations and structured problem-solving. Many people come for help with big transitions - leaving home, starting or changing careers, relationship shifts, or adapting to new responsibilities. The work is practical and stepwise, with attention to everyday functioning and realistic next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a therapeutic relationship. Online sessions follow the same pattern - the therapist asks about what matters most and adjusts responses to reflect the client's concerns. This approach often helps people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. In video or phone conversations this can mean reviewing recent situations, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reflecting on what changed. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and how each method fits the situation. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and change the plan as needed.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy life and making sessions easier to attend when schedules are tight. Confirm the session formats available with the therapist before booking since the profile does not specify formats. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, sessions during a lunch break, or not needing to travel to an office, which helps maintain consistency while working on goals.
