About Keasha
Dr. Keasha Walton-Ellis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Nevada with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, communication problems, infidelity, and questions about life purpose.
Dr. Walton-Ellis uses a collaborative, person-focused way of working. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client, then testing practical strategies together. She aims to help people notice patterns in their relationships and behavior and to try new ways of responding when old patterns no longer serve them.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and the Gottman Method. That combination is used to help with emotional regulation, clearer communication, and repairing trust after hurtful events. Conversations can include skills practice, reflection on relationship patterns, and planning small, doable steps between sessions.
She also has experience supporting people who identify with BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures, and she addresses concerns like jealousy, commitment worries, and isolation. That work focuses on practical communication and safety within relationships rather than judgment.
People often come for help with forgiveness, persistent guilt or shame, or feeling stuck in midlife or transitions. To begin, she asks clients to describe their immediate struggles and goals so sessions can focus on what feels most useful right now.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use that lens to map where guilt and shame come from and to practice new ways of relating to others and to oneself.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says so they can make clearer choices. In online sessions this often means the therapist mirrors concerns and helps people name what they most want to change or preserve in their relationships and life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down difficult thoughts and behaviors into steps that can be practiced between sessions. That approach is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and persistent self-critical thinking that fuels guilt and shame.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick strategies that fit the person's goals, preferences, and daily routine. That decision is reviewed as progress is made and adjusted when needed.
The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered remotely, so confirm current options before booking. People often appreciate remote sessions because they can fit them into workdays, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when life is busy. Online work makes it possible to practice communication skills between sessions and to review homework without adding extra commuting.
