About Keisha
Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Arkansas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Keisha uses a straightforward, interactive style to help people build skills they can use day to day.
Keisha trained at the University of Tennessee, earning her master’s degree in social work, and has worked in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, and home health since 2003. She began providing online therapy in 2016 and also runs a private practice. Her background covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting, career challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and substance issues.
In sessions she leans on client-centered conversations and practical tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help with stress, sleeping, and emotional regulation. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are part of the current problem.
Keisha favors an interactive approach that builds on existing strengths. Therapy includes skill teaching, guided reflection, and concrete strategies for coping with anger, relationship strain, or work stress. She aims to challenge unhelpful patterns while supporting clients to try different responses.
Practical problem solving is part of the work. Clients leave sessions with steps to practice between meetings. The focus is on usable tools for daily life rather than abstract theory.
How sessions work
How Keisha Uses CBT, Mindfulness, and Client-Centered Work Online
Keisha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT tends to focus on practical exercises and small experiments that reduce reactivity and improve mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises. Those techniques can help lower stress, improve sleep, and give space before reacting in anger. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too - it means conversations are led by the client's concerns and strengths rather than a rigid agenda.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might look like combining short behavioral experiments with mindfulness homework and guided conversation about triggers.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography did not list them explicitly. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. Talk with her during the matching and scheduling steps to clarify how sessions will be delivered and which approach will be used first.
