Lekeisha Newbold, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Lekeisha

Lekeisha Newbold is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She takes a strength-based, practical approach that centers on what families already do well. Sessions are aimed at helping parents and caregivers build clearer communication, manage life transitions, and address common challenges like parenting stress or mood changes.

She works in plain language and keeps sessions goal-focused.

Background and approach

Lekeisha listens first and then helps set small, achievable steps. Techniques draw on cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday family life. Her background includes five years as a mental health clinician licensed in Michigan.

Two of those years were spent as a home-based clinician supporting children with severe emotional needs and their families. She also has more than ten years of experience working with women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. Lekeisha offers both traditional clinical counseling and a Christian-informed counseling option, depending on a client's preference.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where parents and caregivers can talk through worries and try practical skills at their own pace. In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking patterns, and Motivational Interviewing to support change.

These approaches are used to help with parenting, attachment concerns, communication problems, and coping with life changes.

How Lekeisha uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the parent or caregiver’s priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make the choices that fit their values and family life. This approach is helpful when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and figure out what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that lead to stressful feelings and unhelpful behaviors. In online sessions this means identifying specific thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, and practicing new responses that work at home with kids or partners. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lekeisha collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. She adapts strategies over time based on the client’s goals, pace, and what actually helps in daily family routines.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow parents and caregivers to fit sessions around childcare, work, and appointments. The variety of formats also makes it easier to try different ways of working and to carry new skills into real life.

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.
