About Akeesha

Akeesha Robinson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are uncertain or nervous.

In sessions she listens first and tailors the conversation to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She shapes a plan together with clients rather than using the same approach for everyone. Her work pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness as part of broader family and personal struggles. Akeesha uses practical tools drawn from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

She also draws on Client-Centered techniques to build a collaborative, nonjudgmental space. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when clients want support finding their own reasons to change. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person.

She offers clear, down-to-earth guidance and helps clients develop small, doable steps to reach goals. Many families find that focusing on communication and concrete strategies reduces daily friction and improves problem solving. Clients who are ready to begin can follow the site process to match with her and schedule sessions.

She works in English and is based in Georgia.

Approaches and online options for family-focused care

Akeesha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and daily stress by breaking big problems into manageable steps.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small changes that lead to progress. This approach zeroes in on strengths and practical actions that can reduce family conflict and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend techniques that fit. The plan can change as progress is made so clients keep control of the pace and focus.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. These formats can make it easier to attend regularly and to use therapy tools between meetings. Many people find the range of options helps them stay consistent while working on family and personal goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
