Keisha Wood, LCSW

Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and the everyday strains of parenting, career, and life changes. Keisha also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving demands, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns. She offers a warm, interactive approach that focuses on practical tools and personal strengths.

Keisha trained through a bachelor’s and master’s in social work, earning her Master’s Degree from the University of Tennessee in 2005. She has worked in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health settings. That range of settings informs how she adapts sessions so they fit different life situations and needs.

Her counseling style is relaxed and individualized. Keisha combines client-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She emphasizes education and skill-building so people leave sessions with concrete tools they can use between meetings.

In sessions she aims to both support and challenge clients, helping them gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy with her includes learning strategies for managing symptoms, improving sleep and eating patterns, and coping with grief, chronic pain, or caregiver stress. Keisha encourages resilience and practical problem solving.

She began offering online therapy in 2016 and also maintains a private practice. Keisha invites prospective clients to consider their needs carefully and choose a therapist they feel comfortable with. She aims to respond to messages within 24 hours when possible, with some responses taking up to 72 hours on weekends.

Online therapy approaches and what they do

Keisha uses client-centered methods that put the person’s goals first. This approach means sessions focus on listening, building trust, and adapting the conversation to what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide what change looks like.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and make daily tasks easier.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keisha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. She adjusts tools and homework so they feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and keep momentum between visits. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings helpful when a quick touch-base is needed, while others prefer full sessions to practice skills and review progress.
