Tekisha Norwood, LCSW, CSW

Tekisha Norwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 14 years of practice. She focuses on building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while helping people manage career struggles and life transitions. She aims to make beginning therapy feel achievable and affirms the courage of anyone who reaches out.

In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She uses practical tools to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Work may include learning new skills for emotion regulation, improving communication, or setting small goals to boost confidence.

Tekisha draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches help people accept difficult feelings, examine unhelpful thinking, and focus on values to shape meaningful action. She adapts methods to fit each person’s pace and priorities.

Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience supporting concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues. She also assists people facing chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life challenges, and first responder stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the site process. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to get matched and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Tekisha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as cornerstones of her approach. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape a practical plan to try in daily life and adjust as progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people maintain consistency during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track small changes over time.
