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 FaithfulCounseling 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!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Keisha Wood. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Faithful Counseling might be different.
Keisha is a loving and caring counselor, who thoughtfully attends to my concerns. She asks wise and helpful questions and points me to tools and resources that lead me into better patterns of thinking and relating with the world. Her care extends beyond her words, as she shares God’s love and healing power through her knowledge and understanding.
Keisha is amazing! She really makes you feel valued and she applies her expertise in gentle manner, you feel like you’re talking to a trusted friend who is wise and knowledgeable and makes you see things from an more advantageous perspective.
I’ve not done asynchronous messaging as a form of communication with a therapist before. At first, I thought I’d be at a disadvantage for not being able to speak with my therapist in real-time. But after the first week, I started to see the value in it. Even if I am not in a mood to type out my thoughts and feelings, I am able to record a voice clip which my therapist can hear and respond at within a Business day. My therapist typically responds twice a day. If not, she promptly responds the following day. I also like that we can share photos and establish a good working relationship
Keisha is great at sharing many resources to help with the different situations I was dealing with or wanted to overcome. In addition, I appreciated her sharing more about herself to make me feel comfortable.
Keisha is wonderful to talk to. She is sincere and really cares about what you are going through! She responds quickly and is genuinely concerned about your well being!
Keisha woods has been really good. As someone who needed the help And struggles with anxiety she was very easy to talk to and made me feel really comfortable.
