About Keisha
Keisha Cherrington is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and other life changes.
Keisha uses a person-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. She listens for immediate problems and practical patterns that keep those problems going. Keisha names thinking and behavior patterns, then helps people try small changes to see what works.
Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those methods are presented in straightforward terms and practiced in session.
Keisha has worked in a variety of counseling settings across her career. That background includes supporting people through addiction concerns, trauma recovery, parenting stress, and career-related strain. She combines focused skills work with discussion about values and goals.
In sessions she aims for clear steps people can try between meetings. Typical topics include anger management skills, coping with grief, reducing anxiety, and planning next steps after a major life change. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Sessions combine discussion, practice of skills, and short between-session tasks to apply new strategies in daily life.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allowing shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel. It can also let people use tools such as screen-shared worksheets, guided breathing exercises, and step-by-step skill practice during a meeting. Licensed professionals adapt the mix of exercises to fit each person's needs and daily routines.
