About LaKeshia
LaKeshia Fisher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addiction, grief, and blended family issues among other challenges. She also supports people dealing with parenting struggles, intimacy concerns, and life transitions.
LaKeshia uses straightforward talk and practical interventions in sessions. She listens to what is happening now, identifies patterns that make life harder, and helps people try small changes that can make days easier. Sessions may include skill work drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and techniques to manage strong emotions.
Her background includes work with people across a wide range of situations, including substance use, mood disorders, and those in the LGBT community. That experience informs how she responds to issues such as attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems commonly seen in blended households.
She describes a collaborative approach that focuses on strengths and problem solving. Conversations often cover how to set boundaries, handle co-parenting tensions, manage anger, and rebuild routines after a separation or remarriage. Practical tools and concrete steps come up in most meetings.
Clients can expect clear, direct conversations about goals and progress. LaKeshia encourages setting attainable steps between sessions and reviews what works and what needs adjusting. The emphasis is on usable skills for everyday family life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
LaKeshia draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people name their concerns, which supports clearer goals and practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and conflict.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and intense reactions are present. DBT techniques include grounding, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness exercises that help with heated conversations and relationship strain in blended households. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client decide together based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful in practice.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep momentum when juggling work, parenting, and blended family schedules.
