Lekeisha Newbold, LPC

Lekeisha Newbold brings a holistic, strength-based approach to counseling that centers on the whole person - emotional, physical, social, spiritual needs and values all inform her work. She focuses on identifying and building the abilities, talents, and positive qualities clients already possess and uses those strengths to support growth, resilience, and more satisfying daily life.

Licensed in Michigan as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), she has five years of professional experience as a mental health clinician. Two of those years were spent as a home-based clinician working with children who have severe emotional disturbances and their families. In addition, she has more than ten years of professional experience supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. She serves people across the lifespan and tailors care to individual circumstances and goals.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Lekeisha offers both strictly clinical counseling and clinical counseling from a Christian perspective, depending on a client’s preferences. Her services address concerns such as anxiety, depression including postpartum depression, family conflict and communication, life transitions, grief and loss, parenting including parenting children with special needs, and spiritual exploration. She supports clients in taking the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s perspective and supports self-directed growth. This approach is useful for people navigating life transitions, identity questions, family issues, and emotional processing because it centers the client’s own goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In short, CBT teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation. It is well suited to clients facing ambivalence about change - for example in parenting adjustments, health behavior shifts, or making life-course decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lekeisha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine these approaches to tailor care.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect from home, coordinate around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care during life changes.
