Keisha Wood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and related concerns. She aims to get to know each person and support realistic, practical change. Her style is warm and interactive, with attention to building on a person’s strengths.

Keisha earned a Master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee and has worked in the field since 2003, giving her 18 years of experience. She has worked in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. She began offering online therapy in 2016 and also runs a private practice.

Her sessions focus on practical skills and education so people leave with tools they can use. She draws on client-centered methods to tailor conversations to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify thought patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are introduced to help manage stress and grounding in the present.

Keisha takes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that balances support with gentle challenge. Therapy includes talking and skill practice aimed at improving coping, building resilience, and working through life changes. She personalizes treatment plans to fit each person’s goals and circumstances.

For people who want to begin, she asks that they use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged based on the therapist’s posted availability and the subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Keisha’s approaches fit into online therapy

Keisha uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and shaping conversations around their goals and values. It helps people feel heard and makes sessions collaborative. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend a way forward. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can fit more easily into busy schedules and daily life. It can reduce travel time, let someone have a shorter check-in during a break, or make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
