About LaKeshia

LaKeshia Fisher is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Mississippi who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She works with individuals dealing with depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is aimed at people who feel stuck or like life has pulled them off course and want practical support to move forward.

LaKeshia draws on a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, building coping skills, and identifying strengths that can be used right away. She uses client-centered techniques to listen and understand what matters most to each person.

She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change thinking patterns that lead to distress. Dialectical behavior strategies are applied when managing overwhelming emotions and improving everyday coping. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on attachment and relationship concerns.

Her background includes more than a decade of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including substance use, eating problems, mood disorders, and life transitions. LaKeshia has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and settings, including corrections and community mental health.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit daily life. People can expect straightforward conversation, tools to practice between meetings, and a focus on gradual, sustainable change. If someone is ready to clarify priorities and take action, she invites them to start the process.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer

LaKeshia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective so they feel heard and supported while identifying personal goals. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs concrete strategies for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. DBT skills are useful for improving coping and stabilizing everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on how the client responds and what fits their life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are supported. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose less visual formats if that helps them focus. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling step so sessions align with daily routines and goals.
