Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Tieesha

Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes is a licensed master social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and works to create a calm space for people to talk through immediate struggles. Her approach is warm and interactive and aims to help clients build practical skills for everyday life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing in sessions. That means she helps clients spot unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and set realistic steps toward change.

Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. Tieesha frames clients as the expert in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. She pays attention to relationships and communication, and she addresses issues such as intimacy, grief, and addiction in straightforward terms.

She also works with concerns related to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and blended family challenges. With 13 years of experience and an LMSW - licensed master social worker - Tieesha practices in Michigan. She uses clear language and practical tools so people can use what they learn between sessions.

Her goal is to help people move from feeling stuck to making small, manageable changes. Therapy with Tieesha usually focuses on doable steps and skills. She supports people through adjustment periods, commitment and communication problems, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose.

The tone is supportive and focused on real-world results.

How Tieesha’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps reflect strengths and priorities, useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions use simple exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Tieesha views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then shape the work to match what feels most useful. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions practical and relevant to daily life.

Online formats give flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging provide short check-ins and written reflections. These options make it easier to use therapy in real time and follow through on steps between sessions.

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.
