About Lekeisha

Lekeisha Newbold is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

Lekeisha uses straightforward, person-focused approaches in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps clients sort priorities. Sessions aim to identify practical steps for daily life, like managing anxiety, improving communication, or handling transitions after a relationship change.

Her background includes work as a home-based clinician serving children with severe emotional disturbances and their families, and over a decade supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. That mix of community and clinical experience shapes how she notices family patterns and caregiving stress in everyday routines.

In sessions she draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means conversations focus on what clients want to change, practical skills to try between meetings, and encouragement to use existing strengths.

People looking for help with co-parenting friction, managing new stepfamily roles, or rebuilding routine after a move or separation can expect a direct, problem-solving emphasis. Lekeisha offers both general clinical counseling and clinical counseling approached from a Christian perspective when clients prefer that frame.

Work begins with a short intake to clarify priorities, then follows agreed goals and methods. The tone is practical and steady, focused on workable steps rather than theory.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and personal perspective. It means conversations center on what matters to the client and the therapist reflects understanding to help clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It uses short, practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to blended household changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether Client-Centered, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or Solution-Focused ideas fit best. That choice is collaborative and can shift as goals change.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals can adapt practical CBT exercises and solution-focused planning to remote sessions so clients can try tools between meetings.
