About Keisha
Keisha Cherrington is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, substance concerns, trauma, and other life changes. She brings 15 years of experience to conversations and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space to talk through what feels most urgent.
Keisha uses a person-centered style that keeps the client's goals at the center of care. She combines clear, practical techniques with steady listening so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
How Keisha works
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person needs now. Her work often includes cognitive-behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. She also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion regulation and managing intense moments.
These approaches are used in plain, practical ways rather than abstract theory. Keisha has worked across different counseling settings during her career. That experience informs how she supports people facing career shifts, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, anger, intimacy concerns, eating issues, and self-esteem struggles.
She tends to offer step-by-step tools alongside open conversation. People who choose Keisha can expect direct, warm guidance and help making small changes that add up. She focuses on collaboration, so goals and methods are chosen together and adjusted as needed.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Keisha draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and build routines that reduce anxiety and low mood. These techniques focus on small, practical steps you can try between sessions to see real change.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are helpful for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and coping during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor which techniques to use. She checks in and adjusts the plan so methods match what actually helps.
Online therapy with Keisha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a close, face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to access care from different locations and schedules.
