About LaKeshia
LaKeshia Fisher is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, body image and parenting struggles. She also lists work with issues such as self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes.
She frames sessions around what feels most pressing. Conversations often start with specific concerns like guilt, shame, or recurring worry. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools so people leave with clearer next steps rather than more questions.
Her background includes work across settings with a range of people, including those with mood disorders, substance use issues, and members of the LGBT community. That experience informs how she approaches complex situations that combine emotional pain with practical life demands.
LaKeshia draws on several ways of working, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. She mixes conversational reflection with skills practice, and often brings in strategies that help manage intense feelings and rebuild connection.
She encourages people to clarify their values and priorities, and to test small changes that fit everyday life. If someone wants to explore guilt or shame from family, faith, or relationships, she offers steady, direct attention to those patterns while addressing immediate coping needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers. It helps when someone wants a respectful conversation about guilt, shame, or what really matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down troubling thoughts and behaviors into steps you can change. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving self-control, which can be helpful when guilt or shame leads to overwhelming reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as work progresses rather than fixed at the first session.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio to focus on what works best for them. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT and client-centered conversations to an online setting to focus on practical coping and emotional regulation without changing the core work.
