Therapeutic approaches and online delivery that fit your life
Keisha commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves learning specific skills and practicing them between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and managing urges. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keisha will listen to goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide an option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful between sessions for brief check-ins or skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and keep momentum between appointments.Frequently asked questions
