About LaKeesha
Dr. LaKeesha Woods is an MD psychologist practicing in Maryland who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She draws on 13 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and challenges like addiction or major life changes.
Her sessions start with a simple conversation about what feels most pressing. She listens and helps people name strengths and obstacles. Together they set small, clear goals and choose tools that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Dr. Woods blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, then coaches doable steps to shift them.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques add brief, goal-oriented moves for people who want quick progress. She has experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting concerns, mood disorders, and issues related to prejudice and multicultural identity. She also addresses career stress, life purpose, guilt and shame, and young adult transitions.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful of each person’s background. Practical tools, clear plans, and ongoing check-ins are typical parts of her work.
Dr. Woods accepts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats for scheduling flexibility. People interested in starting a conversation are invited to begin with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How practical therapy methods work online
Dr. Woods commonly uses client-centered approaches that focus on listening, reflecting, and building goals that matter to you. This work helps people clarify values, identify strengths, and decide on steps that feel doable.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT involves practicing specific skills and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with you about goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Collaboration guides which techniques are emphasized in sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, family schedules, or times when a short check-in feels most helpful.
