About Lekeisha
Lekeisha Newbold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, trauma, and parenting challenges. She also pays attention to men's issues and supports people facing life changes, grief, and relationship strain. Her approach is practical and grounded, aimed at helping clients move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
She emphasizes a strengths-based, holistic view that considers emotional, physical, social, and spiritual needs. Sessions focus on identifying what’s working in a person’s life and building on those strengths. Lekeisha creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through concerns and explore realistic steps forward.
Her work history includes five years as a mental health clinician in Michigan. That background includes two years providing home-based services to children with severe emotional needs and over ten years supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. This range informs how she supports people across different life stages.
Lekeisha integrates client-centered techniques with practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. She tailors each session to the person in front of her, combining active listening with concrete strategies. Clients can expect clear suggestions for managing symptoms and building resilience.
She identifies as a Christian counselor and offers both clinical counseling and clinical counseling from a Christian viewpoint. People who value spiritual context can discuss how faith fits into their goals. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy places the client's needs and perspective first. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace to identify priorities and concerns. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings or life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It gives clear steps for managing anxiety, depression, and some ADHD-related patterns through behavior and thought changes.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps and wants to build motivation without judgment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together the client and therapist choose which methods to try and adjust the plan over time to fit changing needs.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit visits into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
