About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the practical problems that come with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career decisions, and caregiver stress. She takes a warm, listening-first approach.
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps.
How LaKeisha works
LaKeisha uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon-heavy talk. Her style aims to encourage and boost a person’s sense of agency. Over 15 years she has worked in law enforcement support, foster care, and community mental health settings.
That experience shaped her ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds and with different life demands. Cultural awareness is a consistent part of her practice. LaKeisha draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change, and solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and actions. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping strategies, and a focus on strengths. The aim is to help clients feel more capable and steady as they face stressors and transitions.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and adapting to what each person needs. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers reflective listening, and focuses on building trust and self-understanding, which helps with stress, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. It uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related struggles.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change. It uses conversational techniques to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for steps like reducing addictive behaviors or improving self-care.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see body language and have more interactive conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
