About Keisha

Keisha Wood is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Arkansas with 18 years of experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating struggles, parenting, career challenges, ADHD and mood disorders.

Keisha uses an interactive, client-centered way of working. She builds on what a person already does well and adds practical tools. Sessions often include education about skills, short exercises, and clear steps to try between meetings.

Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, school-based programs, hospitals, and home health settings. She has worked with children and adults across the lifespan and began offering online work in 2016. Her clinical toolbox draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness methods, and trauma-focused ideas.

In sessions she focuses on helping people notice patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She balances support with gentle challenge so clients can practice new skills and coping strategies. Therapy includes learning concrete ways to manage anxiety, grief, low mood, or anger, and to improve sleep, eating, and daily routines.

Keisha holds a master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee and maintains her Arkansas LCSW credential. She encourages people to pick a provider they feel comfortable with and to take small steps toward change when they are ready.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Keisha uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person. That means sessions start with the client’s goals and build on strengths, with the therapist offering guidance and feedback aimed at practical changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT in online sessions often includes brief exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety and mood concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Keisha will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on skills training, mindfulness practice, or trauma-focused techniques as appropriate.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as current options are recorded on her profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and which techniques will transfer well to the client’s everyday life.
