About Lakeisha
Lakeisha Riley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice in Colorado. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists social anxiety among the issues she addresses. Her approach is respectful and grounded in cultural awareness.
She helps people talk through what is happening in their daily life and in their relationships. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms, improve communication, and handle transitions like divorce or caregiving responsibilities. Lakeisha also supports clients who are navigating the long-term effects of abuse, domestic violence, or addiction.
Her work includes addressing attachment concerns, abandonment, and challenges around adoption and foster care. She also sees people who are living with chronic pain, illness, or age-related issues. Lakeisha offers support for self-esteem struggles and for those feeling isolated or unsure about life purpose.
In sessions she prioritizes clear goals and realistic strategies. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing ways to speak up, or finding small experiments to reduce avoidance in social situations. Progress is tracked with concrete steps rather than abstract labels.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Lakeisha uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Lakeisha commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and gradual practice. One approach emphasizes step-by-step exposure to feared social situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence. This involves planning small, achievable experiments to practice in real life and reviewing progress in sessions.Another commonly used approach centers on improving communication and coping skills. That work includes rehearsing how to assert needs, manage intense emotions, and set boundaries, which can help with relationship strain and everyday stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lakeisha will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, day-to-day life, and what feels manageable. She adapts plans based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the plan can change over time.
