Lekeisha NewboldLPC

Lekeisha Newbold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and pregnancy and childbirth transitions. She draws on a strengths-focused view and helps clients notice and use what already works in their lives. Her style aims to be warm and direct so people can talk through what matters most to them.

She brings five years as a mental health clinician and over ten years supporting women through prenatal and postnatal transitions. Two years of her experience were spent as a home-based clinician serving children with severe emotional disturbances and the caregivers who care for them. Lekeisha offers clinical counseling and also offers counseling informed by Christian values for those who prefer that perspective.

In sessions she creates an open space to share feelings without judgment. She uses clear, practical methods that help people develop coping skills and improve daily functioning. Conversations focus on small, doable changes as well as longer-term goals.

Her approach includes client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and reshape them. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change, and solution-focused work sharpens short-term goals and steps. She adapts these methods to fit each person’s situation and priorities.

Lekeisha works with concerns such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, grief, and relationship communication struggles. She helps people who feel isolated or uncertain find direction and practical ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or understand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes and supports small steps toward those goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend practical methods based on those conversations. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time as goals shift or progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Confirming formats helps you pick what fits your routine and comfort. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools from CBT and solution-focused work between sessions to practice skills in real life.
