About Keasha

Dr. Keasha Walton-Ellis is a Nevada licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her practice also includes work around life purpose and areas such as commitment issues, communication problems, and midlife transitions. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical next steps rather than abstract guarantees.

She describes therapy as a collaborative effort. Conversations start with what feels most urgent and then move toward skills and perspectives that help in daily life. She draws on several approaches when they fit the situation, and she helps clients choose what might work best for them.

Walton-Ellis uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at how past connections shape current relationships. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies can be introduced for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and trust in committed relationships. She has experience supporting people who identify with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex cultures, and she addresses issues such as infidelity, jealousy, and intimacy concerns without judgment.

Her sessions are client-centered and practical. Expect straightforward conversation, reflection, and homework when helpful. If you want to begin, confirm the current session options and follow the booking steps provided on the site to schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and recent relationships influence current connection and trust. In online sessions this can help people understand recurring patterns in partnerships and close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety and depression and supports practical exercises you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands and then recommend a mix of methods. This decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use video or audio options depending on bandwidth and comfort. Ask about which formats are currently offered so you can plan sessions that work with your schedule and routines.
