Dr. Keasha Walton-Ellis, LMFT

Dr. Keasha Walton-Ellis is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Nevada with 15 years of experience. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence for people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by relationships and mood challenges. Her approach aims to help each person find practical ways forward that fit their life.

She listens first and works at the client’s pace. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Dr. Walton-Ellis draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That helps when communication, trust, intimacy, or commitment become painful. When relationship problems arise she can integrate Gottman-informed strategies to improve everyday interactions and reduce conflict.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She encourages skill building around emotion regulation, managing impulsivity, and improving self-esteem. People bring issues like bipolar mood swings, persistent sadness, stress, jealousy, or difficulty with commitment and communication.

Dr. Walton-Ellis has experience addressing topics often left out of standard therapy, including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, as well as concerns around infidelity, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness. She helps clients talk through shame, guilt, and life-purpose questions without judgment.

Beginning work involves setting clear goals together and choosing methods that feel helpful. Her aim is to support people toward clearer choices, steadier moods, and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches in online work and how they help

Dr. Walton-Ellis draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and depression active. CBT usually involves concrete tools and short experiments to shift unhelpful patterns and build healthier routines.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early ways of relating affect current relationships and emotional responses. That approach can clarify patterns around trust, intimacy, and communication so clients can try different interaction habits. Client-centered principles shape her work as well, meaning sessions focus on empathic listening and meeting each person where they are, which helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and priorities for therapy.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video lets people connect face to face from wherever they are, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text work well for quick check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady work between appointments.
