Keisha Hawthorne-Jones

Keisha Hawthorne-Jones is a licensed social worker who brings 19 years of experience to her practice. She centers sessions on the person in the room, listening first and helping each client build on their own strengths. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and trouble with motivation and confidence.

She uses practical approaches that help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build new ways of coping. Keisha often draws from client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness tools to make thoughts and feelings easier to work with.

Keisha helps people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and career challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes attention to adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and caregiver stress.

Her style is straightforward and encouraging. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels. Keisha aims to help people feel more capable and move toward clearer goals.

Keisha practices in Maryland and works in English. If a person is ready to begin, she guides them through the initial matching and scheduling process so they can start addressing the problems that matter most.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Keisha often uses client-centered therapy to make sessions feel focused on the person rather than on a checklist. In practice this means she listens closely, follows what matters most to the client, and helps them set goals that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Keisha treats the choice of method as collaborative and will adjust plans based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what proves helpful in early sessions. She aims to help people test options and pick strategies that feel doable in day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to attend. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to remote work so conversations stay focused and productive, even when life feels full.
