About Lekeisha
Lekeisha Newbold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns, and lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She frames counseling around strengths people already have. Sessions look at feelings, relationships, values, and daily habits. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what someone can try between meetings. She also offers clinical counseling from a Christian viewpoint when clients prefer that perspective.
Her background includes two years as a home-based clinician for children with severe emotional disturbances and their families. She also has more than a decade of experience supporting women through prenatal and postnatal changes. Those roles shaped how she works with grief, life transitions, and parenting challenges.
In session she uses client-centered methods alongside practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That means sessions mix listening with clear strategies - identifying patterns, testing small changes, and setting doable goals. She helps people try short experiments to see what changes feel helpful.
Lekeisha emphasizes respectful, direct conversations about difficult feelings like guilt or shame. She helps clients name what they are carrying, look at what keeps those feelings going, and consider different ways of responding. People who want a faith-informed option can say so when they start.
How her approaches translate to online work
She uses client-centered therapy to listen carefully and follow what matters most to the client. That approach focuses on understanding a person's feelings and values, and it helps people feel heard while deciding where to begin. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical steps to test thoughts and behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and recurring patterns that feed guilt and shame.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try. That may mean focusing on understanding feelings first, then adding CBT techniques or motivational interviewing to support change.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions that avoid travel time, or meetings that work around childcare and work breaks. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use those conveniences to help therapy fit into day-to-day routines rather than requiring large schedule changes.
