LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC

LaKeisha Blackwell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or parenting concerns. She focuses on practical steps that people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

She prefers straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small changes, and building on what already works. LaKeisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered approaches, and solution-focused ideas in the room.

LaKeisha has 15 years of experience working in community mental health, foster care settings, and alongside law enforcement as a co-responder. That experience shapes how she thinks about stress, trauma, and first responder issues. She pays attention to cultural differences and adapts her approach to each persons background.

People who connect with her often want clear strategies for managing strong emotions, improving communication, or coping with life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, addiction struggles, impulsivity, or caregiver strain. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on the clients goals.

Her style is warm and direct. She encourages small, doable steps and checks in on progress. The work is collaborative, and she helps people build skills they can use outside of sessions.

How her approaches translate to online care

LaKeisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT sessions often involve setting concrete goals and practicing new skills between meetings, which adapts well to video or messaging formats.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and reflecting so the client guides the pace and focus. This approach supports people who need space to name their concerns and decide what matters most to work on.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. LaKeisha works collaboratively to choose techniques that fit a persons needs, goals, and preferences, and she revisits that plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people connect in shorter bursts or between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible so it can fit into a busy schedule.
