About Keesha

Keesha Barthelemy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings practical, compassionate support to people navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. She has worked with adolescents, emerging adults, adults, families, and individuals who were previously incarcerated, offering guidance for career concerns and substance use issues. Her clinical experience spans a wide range of needs, with an emphasis on helping clients develop tools to manage emotions and move toward healthier functioning.

Keesha is known for an organized approach and strong interpersonal skills that help her build trusting therapeutic relationships. As an LMHC - a license that denotes specialized training in mental health counseling - she combines warmth and professionalism to create a collaborative space where clients can explore goals and obstacles. Keesha focuses on practical strategies and personal growth, encouraging clients to apply concrete skills that support flourishing in everyday life.

Clients work with Keesha to set realistic goals and practice techniques tailored to their circumstances, whether addressing mood concerns, relationship struggles, substance use, or life transitions. She aims to partner with each person in a way that fosters insight, resilience, and steady progress toward an improved quality of life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Keesha integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their values and priorities while feeling heard and respected. This approach is useful for people seeking support with identity, relationships, and motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and behavior change related to substance use or coping with life stressors.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help clients develop awareness of thought and emotion in the moment, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that support emotional regulation and stress reduction. Together these approaches offer a balance of insight, skill-building, and present-moment coping techniques that can be tailored to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Keesha works collaboratively with clients to determine what best fits their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Through discussion and brief trials of techniques, she helps clients choose strategies that feel effective and sustainable.

Online therapy with Keesha uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different communication styles that suit individual comfort and need.
