Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes

Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people facing major life shifts. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the aftermath of separation or divorce.

Tieesha uses a warm and interactive style. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. She listens for what is most important to each person and helps identify small, manageable steps forward.

Her work leans on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and strengths. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs support with change or grappling with addictive behavior.

Over a 13-year career in Michigan, Tieesha has supported people through grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, intimacy concerns, and communication problems. She also works with issues related to postpartum adjustment, attachment, blended family dynamics, and aging challenges.

Tieesha holds a Master of Social Work credential and uses that training to shape practical, respectful care. She invites people to bring their real-life concerns and to work together on goals that fit their situation.

How her approaches translate to online care

Tieesha commonly uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and build on their strengths. This approach focuses on listening, understanding what matters to you, and shaping sessions around your goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers hands-on tools to test new ways of thinking and behaving, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. That conversation helps shape what happens each week rather than relying on a single fixed method.

Session formats supported here are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or sessions without the need to travel. It can also allow people to try techniques between meetings and bring real-life examples back to the session for practical problem solving.
