About Keith
Keith Head is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience in behavioral health. He works with adults dealing with addiction, mood struggles, trauma, and related concerns such as ADHD and bipolar symptoms. He also addresses issues like anger, impulsivity, and the specific burden of guilt and shame.
He often sees people juggling substance use with mental health problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills rather than abstract talk. Conversations aim to identify what keeps patterns repeating and what small changes might reduce distress day to day.
His work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He uses methods that teach emotion regulation, coping strategies, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking. That includes approaches aimed at improving flexibility in how people respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Keith describes his style as collaborative and trauma-informed. He helps people set meaningful targets and practices skills between sessions. Treatment addresses co-occurring concerns such as gambling, workplace stress, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress when these are present alongside substance use or mood problems.
People who come because guilt or shame linger from relationships, faith, or past behavior will find a focus on workable steps. The work is practical: build skills, notice patterns, and try different responses to see what helps most.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Keith uses several well-known, evidence-based approaches to guide work with substance use, mood disorders, trauma, and related problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for guilt, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and intense emotional reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try approaches that match the client’s goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist make decisions together and adjust methods if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as session types are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins between commitments, fewer travel needs, or options that avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on guilt, shame, and co-occurring concerns.
