LaKeisha Doman, LCSW

LaKeisha Doman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people through hard moments. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem, and career concerns. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people build useful skills that fit their lives.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions also include client-centered listening so people feel heard and understood before moving on to change. Solution-focused techniques help set small, concrete goals to create momentum between sessions.

Over five years of practice, she has supported people dealing with communication problems, family difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, self-love, and issues common to young adults. She meets clients where they are and tailors each plan to their situation and aims.

LaKeisha keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She works with clients to develop tools for managing symptoms, improving relationships, and navigating career decisions. Progress is often built from small experiments and new habits practiced outside of sessions.

Her approach centers on respect, empathy, and collaboration. People who want a therapist who listens first and then helps build clear steps toward change may find her style a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

LaKeisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this can reduce anxiety and low mood by giving practical tools and short exercises to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening-first space where the person’s experiences guide the work, helping build trust and clarity before moving on to strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and the steps needed to reach them, which is useful when someone wants clear progress in a shorter time frame.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods that make sense. That collaborative decision means techniques can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives and schedules. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can offer a quicker check-in, and text messaging helps people keep work going with short, flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family obligations while still working toward meaningful change.
