Evidence-informed approaches, made accessible online

Keisha Hawthorne-Jones draws from practical, client-focused methods that can translate well to online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while identifying what matters most to them - especially during periods of stress, grief, or major life change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then practicing new responses over time. It is often used to build coping skills for anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns by working with day-to-day habits and perspectives in a structured way.

Mindfulness Therapy supports learning how to slow down, tune into the present moment, and respond with greater intention rather than feeling pulled around by intense emotions or overwhelm. It can be helpful for stress management and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Keisha Hawthorne-Jones works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then tailors sessions accordingly.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a format that fits your schedule and comfort level.
