Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes, LMSW

Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes, LMSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on building on a person’s strengths. Her goal is to help people feel understood and find steady ways to manage hard moments.

Tieesha draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape practical conversations. Sessions are collaborative and meant to fit each person's needs rather than follow one fixed plan. She listens for what’s working and what’s getting in the way, then tries small, manageable steps forward.

She has worked in Michigan settings for over 13 years and uses that experience when helping people face depression, grief, or challenges related to chronic illness and caregiving. Her work also addresses relationship struggles, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns.

Tieesha commonly supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, or the strain of life transitions like divorce or parenting changes. She also helps people explore life purpose, attachment issues, and self-love as part of long-term recovery and growth.

Her sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented while staying compassionate. People who want practical tools and a respectful listener may find her approach helpful. To start, clients follow a simple sign-up process and schedule based on availability.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Tieesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms through practical exercises and homework. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers each session on the person’s concerns and strengths and helps people feel heard and respected as they explore goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tieesha will listen to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life and then suggest strategies or combinations of approaches that fit. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can use a break at work or manage sessions around caregiving and medical appointments. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Tieesha, adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on daily living.
