Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes, LMSW

Tieesha Ketchings-Holmes is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people manage common concerns like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Her work also includes support for addiction challenges, trauma, anger, and life changes.

Tieesha keeps sessions warm and interactive. She treats people with sensitivity, dignity, and respect. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process and believes clients are the experts on their own lives.

Her practice blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. Tieesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, practical goals and build small steps toward them.

Tieesha has 13 years of professional experience and has worked with concerns that often overlap, such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, and loneliness. She also lists a focus on aging and geriatric issues and on attachment and blended family topics.

In sessions she listens for strengths and practical ways forward. She aims to help people develop skills for coping, communicate more clearly, and reconnect with what matters most. Signing up for therapy can feel hard, and she offers steady support while clients work toward their goals.

How approach and online work come together

Tieesha uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, person-focused space where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach centers on listening and adapting to each person’s needs, which helps people who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking by teaching practical skills and small behavior changes that can reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. Tieesha will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then recommend ways of working and adjust as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to schedule. Many people find remote sessions help maintain momentum and make consistent care more manageable.
