About Tkeyah
Tkeyah Whaley is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and low self-esteem. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that feel doable. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping clients find clearer choices and more stable daily routines.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include looking at attachment patterns that affect relationships, focusing on present concerns in a client-centered way, and using cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize small, concrete changes alongside deeper discussion about past experiences.
Whaley draws on six years of professional experience in settings that address trauma, motivation, and mood concerns. She tailors conversations and care plans to fit individual circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. Expect a collaborative process that balances support with practical strategies.
Tkeyah holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and practices in New York. She works with people coping with addiction, intimacy questions, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and a range of life transitions. She aims to empower people to make steady progress toward their goals.

How these approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust. It can help people who notice repeated cycles of closeness and distance or who struggle with abandonment fears. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and rhythm, giving space for the client to lead the pace of change while the therapist reflects and supports growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and routines, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals, history, and what feels most helpful. That process can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking.

It can also let people use video or audio in ways that match their comfort level while keeping the therapeutic goals in view.
