LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About LaKeisha

LaKeisha Blackwell is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, and related issues. She brings 15 years of experience and a direct, caring manner. Parents who feel overwhelmed or unsure about next steps will find practical guidance and steady support.

Sessions aim to make problems feel more manageable and to build everyday coping skills. LaKeisha uses clear, goal-oriented methods in her work.

Background and approach

She listens first and asks questions to understand the family's routines and struggles. Then she offers tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is stuck or unsure about making changes.

Her background includes work with law enforcement co-response programs and community mental health settings. She highlights cultural sensitivity and experience across varied socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. That experience informs a flexible, nonjudgmental approach to each family's needs.

In sessions she focuses on communication, parenting strategies, managing stress and anger, and improving self-worth. She can also address grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related matters, caregiver stress, and career-related changes. LaKeisha works with a blend of listening, skill-building, and short-term focused plans to help families move forward.

Clients can expect a partner who emphasizes practical steps and small changes. The goal is clearer routines, less reactivity, and stronger communication at home. LaKeisha aims to help families regain balance one step at a time.

How her approaches fit into online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It lets parents and caregivers speak about their priorities while the therapist reflects and supports growth. This approach helps when a family needs space to clarify values and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at everyday thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In short online sessions she can teach simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits. Solution-Focused Therapy targets what a family wants to change and builds small steps toward that goal. It is useful for parents who want quick, practical strategies for routines and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use one or a mix of methods that fit the situation. That collaboration helps make remote sessions feel relevant and focused.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving duties. They also let parents try brief check-ins, practice new skills between sessions, and receive guidance when small issues come up.

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.
