About Keisha
Keisha Barnhill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and relationship and family issues. Her practice also addresses parenting strain, sleep problems, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and challenges related to self-esteem and body image.
Keisha draws on practical therapies that focus on thoughts, actions and present choices. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
People often bring career strain, caregiving stress, substance use, or complicated family of origin problems. Keisha also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, codependency, and issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity and jealousy. She addresses both emotional and behavioral aspects rather than offering only talk-based support.
Her background includes work in mental health and addiction settings with both individual and group work. That experience informs a practical approach to relapse prevention, managing mood swings, and handling life changes. Keisha helps clients set realistic goals and practice new skills between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a model of collaborative problem solving. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions consistent with those values. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and addictions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration, helpful for stress, sleep problems, and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Keisha will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, symptoms and preferences. That process can include trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on how practical and useful it feels.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, not having to commute, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can still use CBT or mindfulness exercises in remote sessions, assign short between-session practices, and focus on skills that translate into day-to-day routines.
