About LaKeshia

LaKeshia Fisher is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Parents reading on a phone will find short, direct guidance and an emphasis on moving forward one step at a time.

She draws from client-centered work to place the person's goals at the center of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice thoughts and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be added when intense emotions or strong reactions get in the way of daily functioning.

LaKeshia has 12 years of experience in mental health and holds a Master of Science and LPC credential. Her background includes work with people facing mood disorders, substance use concerns, grief, relationship and family issues, and challenges around identity and intimacy. She has provided care in community and institutional settings.

In sessions she looks for clear, usable strategies - skills to reduce agitation, improve communication, and manage stress. She also explores meaning and purpose when life feels stalled. The focus is practical change alongside understanding what led someone to this point.

Her approach blends short-term tools with deeper conversations about values and goals. People who want a mix of skill building and personal exploration tend to find this style helpful. If someone wants to start, they’ll complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, giving space for them to set the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and straight talk about anger and life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete steps to change thinking patterns and daily habits that keep problems going. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep troubles, and patterns that fuel anger.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills can reduce sudden outbursts and help maintain relationships during hard times.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will assess needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to use. This is a collaborative decision and may change as progress is made.

For online therapy logistics, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills between sessions in their everyday routines, which helps transfer learning into real life.
