About LaKeshia
LaKeshia Fisher is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other issues. She offers a calm, straightforward presence for parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what comes next. Her work aims to help people find clearer choices and rebuild energy for the life they want.
Keshia draws on more than 12 years of experience in mental health care.
Background and approach
She uses proven methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to address anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning practical skills, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. She also incorporates client-centered listening and dialectical behavior strategies to help with stress, self-esteem, and coping with big life changes.
Those approaches support steady progress when emotions feel intense or when patterns repeat. Parents can expect clear guidance on communication, boundary-setting, and managing parenting stress. Keshia favors a cooperative style.
She and the client set goals together and check progress along the way. Therapy emphasizes real-world tools rather than only talking about feelings. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, and mood disorders.
This breadth helps her tailor sessions to the specific needs of each person, especially around family and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and conducted through multiple online formats to fit busy schedules. The goal is steady, practical change so parents can feel more capable and present in their daily lives.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation. It helps people clarify what matters most and build confidence to try new choices in relationships and parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day parenting stress because it breaks big problems into small, doable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes skills for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication, which can be helpful during major family transitions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level. Goals are revisited over time so the plan can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to get short-term skills coaching, follow up on homework, or have regular check-ins without long travel. The variety of options supports steady, practical work on parenting and family concerns while keeping therapy accessible.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
