About Tieesha
Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strains, grief, addictions, trauma and other life changes. Tieesha also focuses on issues such as life purpose, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intimacy-related concerns.
Tieesha uses a conversational, interactive approach in sessions. She listens to what matters most to each person and builds practical steps from there. Expect a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work alongside client-centered conversation. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented while still allowing space to talk through difficult emotions.
She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and highlights existing strengths. That means identifying small changes that can reduce anxiety or improve communication. When needed she uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to work through ambivalence about decisions.
Tieesha has worked across many settings over more than a decade, helping people handle acute and chronic adjustment, postpartum concerns, and relational stress. Her background includes experience with blended family issues, attachment concerns, and the challenges of aging or caregiving.
People who are feeling stuck or unsure of next steps often find it useful to begin by clarifying a short list of goals. Tieesha helps create manageable steps and checks in on progress. To start, the site’s matching questionnaire and scheduling tools are the way to set up an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tieesha uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on what matters to the client, listening closely and adapting conversation to current concerns. This approach helps when someone needs to sort through feelings, relationships, or identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into workable steps and tracks progress.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation. It can be helpful for addictions, commitment questions, and major life transitions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Tieesha will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life. That decision can shift as progress is made.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to check in during a work break, reduce travel time, or use a shorter phone check-in when energy or bandwidth is limited.
