About Keisha
Keisha Cherrington is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Keisha uses a person-centered stance in sessions. That means she listens first and tailors work to each person's goals.
Background and approach
She blends practical tools with a steady, respectful approach so sessions feel useful and grounded. Her practice draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills.
These methods help with mood, relationships, and coping after trauma. Clients can expect clear, practical steps between sessions. Keisha aims to help people notice small changes that build over time.
She focuses on skills that can be practiced in daily life to reduce overwhelm and improve relationships. Keisha has a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and brings 15 years of experience in counseling settings. That background informs how she structures sessions and helps people set realistic, achievable goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Keisha uses evidence-based methods that are easy to adapt to remote formats. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing coping strategies; this translates well to exercises and homework that can be reviewed over video or messaging. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness through skills training and role practice that work in live sessions or short check-ins by chat.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the issues at hand, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. The client and therapist set the pace together and decide which techniques feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and written practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily routines without long travel time.
