Tekisha Norwood, LCSW, CSW

Tekisha Norwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people build self-esteem, boost motivation, and navigate career challenges. She also supports people who are coping with major life changes, stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma and abuse.

Tekisha aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. She creates space for clients to name their thoughts and emotions and to try practical steps for change. Her work draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and take values-driven action.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centered practice to pay attention to relationships and the experience of being understood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need practical tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Tekisha combines these approaches to match what each person needs in the moment.

Her background includes supporting people facing issues like depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and relationship struggles. She also addresses areas such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, dissociation, and first responder challenges. The focus is on clear steps you can use between sessions.

To start, Tekisha asks people to share what matters most to them and what they want to change. Sessions emphasize small, achievable goals and steady progress. She encourages people to be gentle with themselves while learning new ways to cope and grow.

Approaches that guide remote sessions

Tekisha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT often focuses on accepting difficult feelings while moving forward with chosen goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice concrete skills that change behavior and mood.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tekisha will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest techniques that match those needs. The plan can change as work progresses so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Session logistics are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to try skill practice between sessions and to apply tools directly to everyday situations.
