About LaKeisha
LaKeisha Blackwell, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan, has 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Her practice also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, first responder issues, forgiveness, impulsivity, self-love, women's issues, and young adult concerns.
Blackwell describes her approach as collaborative and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what the client brings. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and develop practical skills.
Sessions emphasize clear steps people can use between meetings. Techniques include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new communication habits, and building motivation for change. The work tends to be goal-oriented and action-based when clients prefer that style.
Her background includes experience with law enforcement as a co-responder and work in foster care and community mental health settings. That experience informs how she approaches first responder issues and related stressors. She also notes attention to cultural diversity and sensitivity in practice.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own goals and priorities. It involves active listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters most to them, which can be useful for stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills, often for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and anger management.
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal reasons to change. It is useful for addictions, impulsivity, and issues where motivation needs to be strengthened.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
