About Keisha

Keisha Barnhill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Georgian Court University and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University with a clinical concentration; her training emphasized work with adults and families. Keisha has provided care across individual and group settings and brings experience addressing mental health diagnoses as well as substance use and co-occurring disorders.

Her approach blends practical strategies with compassionate support, drawing on evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills and navigate life transitions. Keisha often uses structured, skills-based tools alongside mindfulness and acceptance strategies to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, grief, and relationship or family difficulties.

She also supports people facing challenges with self-esteem, sleep, parenting, and compassion fatigue. Keisha aims to create a collaborative space where clients and therapist work together to identify goals and tailor interventions that fit each person’s needs.

How targeted approaches translate to online care

Keisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT often includes practical exercises and homework that can be worked on between sessions to address anxiety, depression, and stress. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping clients clarify values, accept uncomfortable experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another element in her work, offering attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Keisha treats that as a collaborative effort. She partners with clients to explore which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so interventions remain aligned with goals and day-to-day realities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules and geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to engage in skills practice, receive feedback, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
