About Keesha
Keesha Barthelemy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Keesha focuses on practical support that fits each person's day-to-day life.
She centers sessions on what each person wants to change. Keesha uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to break problems into small, doable steps.
How Keesha works
She also weaves in mindfulness practices to help with strong emotions and attention. Keesha has worked with clients facing depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. She also addresses concerns such as substance use, codependency, body image, and money-related stress.
Her background includes work with people affected by military-related issues and incarceration. In a session she aims to be organized and direct while staying warm and approachable. Conversations focus on skills people can use between sessions, like coping tools, communication strategies, and ways to manage cravings or intense moods.
Progress is tracked in small steps so change feels achievable. Keesha offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.
The subscription-based payment can be canceled at any time.

How Keesha's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and offers support that matches the person's values and pace. This approach is useful for people who need someone to hear their experience and help them find their next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they connect. The work includes simple experiments and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention practices and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text sessions let people check in between appointments or fit therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep up with regular sessions and build steady progress.
