About LaKeshia
LaKeshia Fisher is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like life has pulled them off course. She speaks plainly and listens for what matters most so a concerned parent or busy adult can feel heard. Her style focuses on real-life changes rather than labels or jargon.
She has about 12 years of clinical experience working with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress. She also addresses issues such as body image, attachment and abandonment concerns, bipolar symptoms, and the challenges of major life transitions. Her experience includes work with people from the LGBT community and those navigating substance use and co-occurring conditions.
Her approach blends practical methods with a client-centered attitude. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought patterns and behavior. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and stress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential ideas inform conversations about values, meaning, and relationships.
Sessions aim to map current habits and thoughts, build coping skills, and strengthen connections to what matters most. She emphasizes exploring strengths and setting small, doable goals that fit daily life. Work can include improving communication, managing anger, addressing sleep or eating struggles, and handling caregiver stress.
People who choose her typically want straightforward guidance and a focused plan. If you want a therapist who listens, helps identify practical steps, and values your own goals, she offers that collaborative style. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals that make sense for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and routines; it uses practical exercises and homework to shift thinking and behavior over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can help with intense feelings and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences, and suggest methods that fit those aims. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so logistics match your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur, which can help generalize new habits into everyday life.
