About Keisha
Keisha Hawthorne-Jones is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and an LCSW-C in Maryland with 19 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting issues, and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and based in Maryland.
Keisha frames clients as the experts on their own stories. She uses that view to help people notice what already works for them. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people practice small changes that add up. She emphasizes practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behavior. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to build skills for managing stress and increasing presence. Motivational Interviewing supports naming goals and deciding what next steps feel doable.
In practice Keisha helps people untangle people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, and the effects of past hurts. She offers tools to manage anxiety, grief, mood shifts, and the strain of high-demand roles like caregiving or work stress. Conversations often include short exercises and clear action steps to try between sessions.
People who meet with her can expect a structured, respectful process that balances listening with problem-solving. Keisha encourages testing small changes and noticing the difference over time. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching flow to schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Keisha commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT involves looking at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes that reduce stress and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention skills and brief exercises to help manage anxiety and stay present during difficult moments. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around each person's priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Keisha works collaboratively with clients to choose which methods to try based on their goals, daily life, and what feels manageable. Early sessions often include trying a technique and then reviewing how it went to decide next steps together.
The exact online session formats for this clinician were not specified in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use CBT and mindfulness exercises effectively over distance, and Keisha will help match approach and scheduling to what fits a client's situation.
