About LaKeshia

LaKeshia Fisher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their goals and relationships. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life for clients who want change.

She draws on approaches that center the person and their experience. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients name patterns that cause pain. She offers strategies to manage anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy struggles, including codependency issues. Sessions aim to balance clear steps with space to process emotions.

With 12 years of clinical experience, Fisher has worked across many settings and with diverse concerns. Her background includes supporting people navigating mood disorders, substance use, eating and sleep difficulties, and major life transitions. She also has experience with attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and trauma and abuse.

Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally-focused ways of tending to relationships. Fisher combines practical skill building with discussion about values and meaning. She encourages gradual changes that fit each person’s life.

People who choose her therapy typically want clear, straightforward help sorting feelings and building new habits. If someone is looking for calm, focused guidance to face hard choices and rebuild a sense of direction, Fisher frames the work as a collaborative process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building trust. Online sessions using this approach center the client’s goals and let the therapist follow the client’s lead to uncover what matters most and where to start.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In an online setting CBT often means setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and using short exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or codependency patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Delivered online, DBT-style skills work can help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve relationship interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let a person join from a location with fewer distractions. Talk with the therapist about what will make sessions most useful and manageable.
