Keisha Barnhill, LCSW

Keisha Barnhill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. She brings nine years of clinical experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing life changes. Keisha also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, and concerns like jealousy and attachment wounds.

She uses practical, down-to-earth methods that help people notice what matters and take small steps forward. Sessions focus on present-day problems and on skills clients can use between meetings.

Her background includes a bachelor’s in social work from Georgian Court University and a master of social work from Fordham University with a clinical concentration. She has worked in mental health and addiction settings using both individual and group formats. That experience shapes how she supports people with co-occurring concerns and substance use issues.

In sessions she often leans on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based work. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help people set and reach short-term goals. Expect straightforward conversation, practical skill-building, and a focus on what you want to change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and on taking small actions that match what matters. It helps when people feel stuck by strong emotions or confusion about their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness, which can support stress, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs shape which tools are used.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices between meetings in their regular environment. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so the work stays practical and goal focused.
