About Keesha
Keesha Barthelemy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She draws on three years of clinical experience to help people manage strong emotions and life changes. Keesha speaks English and Haitian Creole and offers therapy in formats that fit today’s busy schedules.
Keesha focuses on practical, hands-on work. She listens first, then helps people set small goals and try new skills. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction-related struggles, trauma and relationship or family strain.
Background and approach
Her sessions tend to be organized and goal-oriented. She uses clear steps such as identifying unhelpful patterns, testing different ways of coping, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Keesha emphasizes skills people can use between meetings to make progress in daily life.
People who prefer a direct and caring style may find her approach useful. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients decide what change looks like and try methods that fit their schedule and preferences. Keesha describes herself as charismatic and compassionate, focused on helping people grow.
Her background includes work with adults across a range of concerns, including substance use and reentry after incarceration. That experience informs how she approaches complex situations where several problems overlap. In sessions she pays attention to communication, coping skills, and building practical plans for improvement.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Keesha uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set goals and decide the pace of work.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers clear steps to test and change unhelpful patterns, and it can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Keesha works collaboratively to choose methods that match a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or challenges appear.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, skill reminders, or clients who prefer writing. These options help people keep momentum and practice skills between sessions.
