Keisha Wood, LCSW

Keisha Wood is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and mood concerns. She aims to help clients build practical skills for everyday life and to strengthen thinking and habit patterns that get in the way. Keisha uses plain language and an interactive style that focuses on the person, not labels.

Keisha earned a Master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee and has worked in the field since 2003. She holds an LCSW in Arkansas and also practices in Virginia under the same credential. Her background includes outpatient, school-based, hospital, and home health settings.

She began offering online therapy in 2016 and has continued using that format alongside office-based practice. In sessions she leans on approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits, add mindfulness skills, and address trauma when it matters. The goal is practical tools clients can use between sessions.

Keisha describes her style as warm, relaxed, and individualized. Clients are supported and sometimes challenged to increase awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Therapy includes education, skill practice, and planning so progress can be tracked.

She has 18 years of professional experience and works with a broad range of concerns including addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, sleep and eating issues, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and career transitions. Keisha encourages people to choose a therapist they feel comfortable with and offers collaborative work to meet goals.

Outside of clinical work she mentions family life, pets, travel, and simple pleasures like ice cream, which she uses to connect with clients as a person first and a clinician second.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on you as the expert on your life and aims to create an accepting space where goals and solutions come from your own values and strengths. This approach helps when clients want practical help and someone who listens closely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers step-by-step tools to change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unwanted habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus for daily stress and sleep problems.

Choosing the best approach is often a process. Keisha will work together with each person to figure out which methods make sense for their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying an approach, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking so clients know what’s offered now. Many people find online sessions convenient because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in real life between meetings and to keep momentum during life transitions.
