Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes, LMSW

Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes, LMSW, offers a calm and direct approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes. She presents herself with warmth and respect, asking questions and listening closely to understand each person's situation. She aims to help clients notice strengths and make practical steps toward feeling better.

Tieesha uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with elements of Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and building skills for everyday life. She will tailor conversations and plans to fit what each person finds useful and realistic.

With 13 years of experience and a Michigan license as a Licensed Master Social Worker, Tieesha brings steady clinical experience to problems like relationship strain, grief, anger, and trauma. She also works with issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family concerns, postpartum mood changes, and jealousy.

Her style is interactive rather than purely didactic. That means she offers feedback, asks reflective questions, and helps clients try new coping steps between sessions. The emphasis is on practical change along with understanding what led to the problem.

People who want a therapist who listens, sets clear goals, and encourages small, doable changes may find her approach helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on availability.

How Tieesha’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

The client-centered approach focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears, which helps people feel understood and identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tieesha will talk with each person about goals, past attempts to cope, and what feels doable. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods based on needs and preferences rather than insisting on a single way of working.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try real-life practice between meetings, then talk through what happened. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and relevant to daily life, while helping clients build skills that carry outside appointments.
