About me

Hello and welcome to my page, my name is Keisha. I love helping people solve their problems and meet their goals. I would love the chance to get to know you and help you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. I am a LCSW—Licensed Certified Social Worker in Arkansas; I have a bachelors and masters degree in social work; I earned my Master’s Degree from the University of Tennessee in 2005. However, I have been working in the social work field since 2003.

I have experience working in a variety of settings (outpatient, school-based, hospital, home health). I've helped children and families as well as adults of all ages. I began conducting online therapy in 2016. I fell in love with this new format of therapy! Outside of BetterHelp I have a private practice that I also run outside of my home. My counseling approach is warm, relaxed and individualized to best meet your needs. I prefer an interactive style to build on your existing strengths. I like to use a variety of evidenced-based approaches, focusing on education to ensure you have the tools and skills needed to help yourself. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and solution-focused counseling, and positive psychology. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am committed to approaching your presenting issue with dignity, respect, empathy, and without judgement.

As my client, you will be supported but also challenged in order to develop insight and self-awareness into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Therapy is not just about talking. It is also about learning positive strategies to help facilitate coping, enhance the ability to work through life’s struggles and challenges, and build resilience. Please be selective about the counselor/therapist you choose. It is an important choice and you need to feel comfortable with whomever you choose.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and you have already taken such an important first step. I am here to support you towards change and a happier life. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

Being a professional on this platform, it is my goal to contact you within at least 24 hours of receiving a message from you. However, there are times where a 25-72 hour window may be necessary such as the weekend (please note that the weekend takes place each Friday-Sunday so that messages received during this time will be addressed on Monday). Rest assured, I will always get back to you. In the meantime, I would like for you to familiarize yourself with my schedule of availability. There, you can schedule to contact me for a live chat session. If there is a day/time that is not available, but you would like to check to see if it may be available, but you would like to check to see if it may be available do not hesitate to reach out to me via your chat room. I'll let you know if scheduling that day/time is feasible.

Also, keep in mind that this forum does not provide any type of emergency services. Therefore, if you or someone you know believes that you/they are in need of urgent assistance and/or that you/they are in crisis (i.e. suicidal/homicidal and/or attempts), please call 1-800-273-TALK (24 hours/day), dial 911 or visit your local emergency room. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Keisha is the best, she is always there for me, a great support system

Written on Apr 23, 2024 after therapy with Keisha for 2 years and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, depression, and anger management

Keisha has offered wisdom and practical tools throughout my time of working with her. She shares frequently about her own life experiences and that helps process my own life as well. Most importantly, she points me to the Source of healing-Jesus Christ.

keisha is the BEST

Written on Jan 11, 2024 after therapy with Keisha for 1 year and 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and adhd

Keisha provides me with a safe space to talk. She validates my concerns and provides guidance and recommendations to help me work though issues I'm concerned with.

Written on Nov 26, 2023 after therapy with Keisha for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and family conflicts

She works with me to help me in the ways that are best for me. I am a first responder and finding time between work and family to talk about issues can be tough but Ms. Wood makes herself available and always responds within an appropriate time frame.

Written on Sep 14, 2023 after therapy with Keisha for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, parenting issues, anger management, and compassion fatigue

She’s been a sweetheart and incredibly patient with my not wanting to rush it

A good therapist is one who can be like your best friend but also know the right time when to act

I like to say Keisha plays the roll very well
