LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC

LaKeisha Blackwell, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting struggles. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and challenges at work or during life changes. LaKeisha pays special attention to caregiver stress and communication problems. She brings 15 years of experience to her work in Michigan.

LaKeisha listens first and then works with each person to set clear, practical goals. She favors straightforward strategies that can be used between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what skills can help, and small steps toward change. Sessions aim to build self-awareness, reduce overwhelm, and improve daily coping.

Her background includes work in community mental health, foster care, and law enforcement settings. That experience informs her approach with people from varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. LaKeisha values cultural sensitivity and considers each person’s life context when planning care.

She uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are applied flexibly to address mood, behavior, motivation, and practical problem solving. The aim is to help people identify patterns and try new ways of responding.

LaKeisha encourages a collaborative relationship where the person’s goals guide the process. She supports parents, young adults, and others navigating change. People who want to explore how therapy might fit into their life can begin by completing the site's matching steps and scheduling a time to talk.

How these approaches guide online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify personal goals. This approach helps when someone needs a trusted space to talk and make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns that maintain stress or low mood. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they may blend listening-focused, motivational, and problem-solving techniques to fit the person’s needs.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, since formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by reducing travel time and making it easier to arrange appointments around caregiving or work. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits the client or options that avoid video when that is preferable. Licensed professionals tailor the plan to match each person’s life and goals.
