Keesha Turner, LPC

Keesha Turner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who uses practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches to build skills that people can use day to day. Keesha aims for straightforward, respectful work that focuses on what a person needs now. With ten years of experience, she helps people navigate trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and career or life transitions. Sessions often focus on learning new coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming reactions. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency. Her style centers on listening first and creating a personalized toolbox for each person. That toolbox can include thought records, behavioral experiments, grounding skills, and mindfulness practices depending on the goals. Keesha adapts sessions so they fit daily life and specific practical needs. People can expect a respectful and steady approach that balances practical exercises with emotional support. She works with adults and couples on relationship and family-related concerns. The therapy process is collaborative and paced around each person's comfort and readiness. Keesha encourages taking small, manageable steps toward clearer goals. She helps people set priorities, test new behaviors, and reflect on what works. The aim is to make progress that feels useful in everyday life, not to rush through the process.

How remote therapy uses evidence-based approaches

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. It focuses on clear, practical exercises like thought records and behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values. It can be useful for stress, chronic pain, and for people who want to live more in line with what matters to them.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and creating a supportive relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and gradually explore choices and goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, values, and goals. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting them over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used for full sessions and visual connection, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a written record of ideas is useful. These options make it easier to keep appointments around work, childcare, or travel while still using CBT, ACT, and person-centered techniques.
