About Keesha
Keesha Barthelemy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings three years of clinical experience to her work, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges. Keesha speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to create a practical space for people to talk and find tools that fit their daily lives.
Keesha’s style is straightforward and collaborative. She focuses on clear goals and short-term strategies while staying attentive to the bigger picture.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be solution-minded and driven by what the person needs that week. Her background includes work with adults facing mood disorders, substance-related issues, trauma, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and parenting stress.
That mix of concerns shapes how she prioritizes what to address first in therapy. Keesha uses a few practical models to guide sessions. She draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools help when someone needs quick, usable coping strategies. People who may find this approach helpful are those who want concrete steps and regular check-ins.
Keesha aims to help people reduce overwhelm and build manageable routines. Her goal is to make progress feel realistic and relevant to everyday life.

How Keesha’s Approaches Work Online
Keesha blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to focus on what matters most to each person. Client-centered therapy starts by hearing your priorities and building a plan around them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical actions to change mood and behavior.She also uses mindfulness tools to help with stress and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing habits that can reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. Together these approaches aim to offer short-term skills and longer-term patterns of change, chosen collaboratively based on your goals.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or ongoing support between sessions.
Working this way helps people fit therapy into busy lives while still using structured techniques. The therapist will discuss which formats and approaches seem most useful and adjust over time to match changing needs and preferences.
