About Tekisha

Tekisha Norwood brings 14 years of clinical experience and a client-centered orientation to her practice. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia (LCSW, CSW) who focuses on building motivation, improving self-esteem and confidence, and navigating career challenges and major life transitions.

Background and approach

Tekisha emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts and emotions and work toward practical, sustainable change. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges related to relationships and family dynamics.

She also provides support for issues such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, grief and end-of-life concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and attachment difficulties. Tekisha draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based approaches, client-centered techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Tekisha encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and collaborates with clients to set goals and develop coping strategies. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Tekisha often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is another common element in her work, focusing on values-driven action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based therapy is used when exploring relationship patterns and past relational wounds to strengthen emotional connection and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine which combination of strategies best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy plans are adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve, so clients play an active role in shaping their care.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
