About Keisha

Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and other life challenges. She brings a warm, relaxed style to sessions and aims to get to know each person’s strengths. Keisha emphasizes practical skills so people leave with tools they can use right away.

Keisha earned a Master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee in 2005 and has worked in social work since 2003.

Background and approach

She holds an Arkansas LCSW - AR LCSW 2154 and a Virginia LCSW - VA LCSW 0904013619. Her background includes outpatient, school-based, hospital, and home health settings. She has worked with children, families, and adults of all ages.

She began offering online therapy in 2016 and appreciates how that format fits many lives. Her sessions are interactive and build on what people already do well. Keisha uses evidence-based techniques and focuses on teaching skills that support coping and resilience.

In session she combines cognitive-behavioral methods, mindfulness practice, and client-centered conversation to shape a plan that fits each person. She aims to balance support and challenge so clients can gain insight and change patterns that cause distress. Keisha describes her approach as individualized and respectful.

She encourages people to pick a therapist they feel comfortable with and supports steady progress toward clearer goals and better everyday coping.

How Keisha’s Approaches Work Online

Keisha uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach focuses on listening, understanding each person’s perspective, and adapting conversation to the client’s priorities. It helps with building trust and figuring out practical next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers clear strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching ways to shift unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keisha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to choose techniques that fit. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are convenient when screens are not ideal, and live chat or text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and make it possible to receive consistent help from a licensed professional without adding long travel time.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
