Keisha Cherrington

Keisha Cherrington is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She brings calm, direct support to conversations about grief, addiction, trauma, parenting strain, eating concerns, and career stress. Keisha practices from New York and works in English.

Keisha uses a person-centered stance that focuses on each client's goals and strengths. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect collaborative planning, skill practice, and real-world tools to try between sessions. Keisha pays attention to safety, pacing, and small steps that build confidence over time.

Her prior work has covered a range of counseling settings and many different concerns. That background informs a flexible approach that adapts to what a person needs in the moment. Keisha emphasizes respect, compassion, and steady support throughout the process.

She has a Master-level clinical social work license, LCSW, and about 15 years of professional experience. The therapist asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Keisha commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems, and it includes homework practice and behavior experiments.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills help people manage intense feelings, reduce reactive behavior, and improve relationship interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made over time so techniques match what actually helps.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from other locations. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins when that suits their schedule, or prioritize phone over video when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, help clients pick a setup that best supports their needs.
