Lekeisha Newbold, LPC

Lekeisha Newbold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma, and other life changes. She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Her approach is collaborative and strengths-focused. She notices a person's abilities and uses those as a place to start. Sessions often include simple tools and short-term goals people can try between meetings.

Lekeisha blends client-centered listening with goal-oriented techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolbox when clients want to build momentum and clarify next steps.

Her background includes five years as a mental health clinician in Michigan. She spent time as a home-based clinician supporting children with severe emotional needs and their caregivers, and she has over ten years of experience supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. Those experiences inform a practical, down-to-earth style.

She identifies as a Christian counselor and offers clinical counseling either from a strictly clinical perspective or framed with a Christian viewpoint when clients request that. Lekeisha works to help people strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and make steady changes that fit their values and routines.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what clients say, helps them name feelings, and supports clients as they choose the next steps; this approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and clearer self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often involves setting small experiments, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions lean more toward listening and reflection or toward concrete skill-building and short-term goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people speak face-to-face when deeper conversation is wanted. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help with short updates, reminders, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
