Keisha Dennis, LCSW

Keisha Dennis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family-related strain. She supports people coping with low self-esteem, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and difficulties such as abandonment, attachment issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. Keisha emphasizes practical steps and steady support when life feels overwhelming or stuck.

Her work is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning skills for emotional regulation, and improving communication. Keisha draws on evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma responses while keeping the work grounded and usable day to day.

Over nine years in clinical practice have included helping people from varied backgrounds, including service members, veterans, and military families, and those recovering from traumatic events or major life transitions. She has experience with PTSD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and recovery-related challenges, and she brings that experience into treatment choices.

Keisha uses a mix of approaches that match the person and the problem. That may mean focused skill-building for anxiety, a stepwise process for trauma-related thoughts, or short-term solution-focused work to tackle pressing problems. Her goal is to help clients leave sessions with clear ideas they can try between meetings.

Starting therapy does not require having everything figured out. Keisha invites people to begin from where they are and to shape goals together. She aims to make therapy a practical, respectful space for change.

Approaches for treating trauma, anxiety, and daily stress

Keisha uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people feel more steady and in control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Cognitive Processing Therapy is a trauma-focused method that helps people review and reframe distressing beliefs tied to traumatic events so memories feel less overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keisha will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find methods that fit around daily life and that people can use between sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helpful because it can reduce travel, fit into a busy schedule, and make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments. Keisha frames online care around practical goals and skill practice so sessions feel relevant and doable alongside everyday responsibilities.
