About Keisha
Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arkansas with 18 years of experience in social work. She lists stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, parenting, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among her practice areas.
Keisha uses an interactive, practical approach. She leans on skills and education to help people build coping tools. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and creating steps that fit everyday life. She aims to help clients learn techniques they can use outside of sessions.
Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, school-based programs, hospitals, and home health. She holds a bachelor's and a master's degree in social work, with a Master’s degree earned from the University of Tennessee in 2005. She began practicing online in 2016 and has continued to offer virtual work alongside other settings.
In sessions she draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and trauma-focused principles. That means conversations often include practical exercises, thought-and-behavior work, and grounding or attention practices. The overall focus is on teaching skills and building resilience rather than only talking about problems.
Keisha describes her style as relaxed and interactive. She prefers to build on what a person already does well. Clients are both supported and challenged to develop insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She asks people to be selective about their therapist and offers a straightforward way to begin the process.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Keisha often uses client-centered methods to make sessions straightforward and person-focused. This approach means conversations focus on what matters to the client and build on existing strengths. It helps with issues like stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT provides concrete exercises and homework that can be practiced between sessions to address anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keisha will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then suggest a plan. That plan can change as needs shift, and decisions are made collaboratively throughout care.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, school, caregiving, or medical appointments. Because the specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online sessions also make it simpler to continue therapy during relocations or when in-person visits are difficult.
