About Keisha Wood
Keisha Wood is a licensed social worker with nearly two decades of experience helping people navigate life transitions, manage emotions, and build practical skills for everyday living. She earned her master’s degree in social work from the University of Tennessee in 2005 and has been practicing in the field since 2003. As an LCSW - a licensed certified social worker in Arkansas - she brings clinical training and long-term experience to each client interaction.
Her work spans a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, school-based programs, hospitals, and home health, supporting children, families, and adults of all ages. Keisha began offering online therapy in 2016 and continues to maintain a private practice outside her home, combining digital access with in-person availability when appropriate. Her counseling style is warm, relaxed, and tailored to each individual’s needs, emphasizing an interactive approach that builds on existing strengths.
Keisha uses evidence-based methods and focuses on client education so people leave sessions with concrete tools and strategies. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and a client-centered orientation to design individualized treatment plans. She prioritizes dignity, respect, empathy, and a nonjudgmental stance while also offering support that challenges clients to develop insight and greater self-awareness.
Therapy with Keisha is presented as more than conversation - it is skill-building aimed at improving coping, resilience, and the ability to work through life’s challenges. She aims to respond to messages within 24 hours when possible, though there may be occasional 25-72 hour windows such as over weekends. Prospective clients can review her availability and schedule live chat sessions; if a preferred day or time is not listed, Keisha asks that clients reach out via the chat room to check for possible openings. For urgent crises, she directs people to call 1-800-273-TALK, dial 911, or visit a local emergency room. Outside of clinical life, Keisha has been happily married for nearly 15 years, shares her home with two Bichon Frises, has visited Scotland multiple times where she became engaged, and enjoys ice cream.

She emphasizes an interactive relationship that builds on strengths while offering education and tools to support ongoing progress.
