About Lekeisha

Lekeisha Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing relationship and intimacy struggles, addictions, and self-esteem challenges. She also supports those dealing with grief from separation, sexual concerns, and experiences related to gender and HIV.

Background and approach

Her tone is direct and encouraging for someone looking for practical help now. She blends talk-based work with approaches that focus on how people relate and connect.

Sessions often include skills for clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and addressing patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses the Gottman Method alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to shape sessions around each person’s needs.

Lekeisha draws on six years of clinical experience in Georgia. She aims to create an affirming environment for people with LGBT identities and for those from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Her work pays attention to how past hurt and attachment patterns affect present relationships and self-image. In therapy she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in small steps.

She also offers space to process trauma, dissociation, and feelings of guilt or shame when those issues come up. Practical tools and short-term goals are common parts of her work.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that mixes listening with concrete strategies. Lekeisha emphasizes rebuilding trust with oneself, improving intimacy, and reducing addictive patterns.

She wants people to leave sessions with clearer next steps and more confidence in managing everyday challenges.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Many sessions draw on the Gottman Method to focus on how people communicate and reconnect. This approach uses concrete exercises and conversation skills to reduce blame and build shared understanding in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work and emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to help them make their own changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides short-term tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It can help with addictive patterns, low self-esteem, and managing anxiety or trauma symptoms through practical exercises and homework between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and skills practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can serve as short check-ins or to process emotions between sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
