About Lakeisha
Lakeisha Riley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Lakeisha also addresses related concerns such as codependency, attachment issues, grief, and substance-related problems.
Her work focuses on helping people name what feels out of balance and practice clearer ways of responding. Sessions often include talking through recent events, spotting patterns that keep problems repeating, and trying new behaviors in small steps. She pays attention to how relationships, past losses, and caregiving roles shape stress and mood.
Lakeisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in straightforward ways. She helps clients with practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, and she supports processing trauma and painful memories at a pace the client sets. For people who struggle to set boundaries or who lose themselves in relationships, she works on concrete strategies for asserting needs and reducing overwhelm.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work across a range of concerns, and she brings cultural awareness into conversations about identity and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Colorado. International clients are not accepted.

How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Lakeisha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on specific problems and skills. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches break down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. These techniques help people change unhelpful thinking and build steady routines.She also works with trauma-focused methods that support gradual processing of painful memories while keeping sessions paced to the clients tolerance. This approach helps people reduce the hold of past events and improve day-to-day functioning without pushing beyond what they can manage.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the clients goals, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match techniques to problems like codependency, attachment issues, or chronic stress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or avoid being on camera when a shorter check-in will do. Licensed professionals often find that remote sessions support consistency and follow-through while allowing practical scheduling around daily responsibilities.
