About Keisha
Keisha Cherrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She offers steady support for those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, substance use concerns, and changes at work or home.

Everything Keisha lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Keisha's practice.
How therapy approaches adapt to online care
Keisha uses clear, evidence-based methods that translate well to online work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. These tools help with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving steps to practice between sessions. Dialectical behavior tools teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness through skill coaching and in-session practice. Finding the right approach is a team effort. Keisha will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the client. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day and to follow up on skills between appointments. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing life demands.Questions people ask about Keisha
