About Tkeyah
Tkeyah Whaley is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward support for depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and the impact of trauma and abuse. Many clients come for help with motivation, coping with life changes, and addictive behaviors.
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes. In sessions she tailors conversation and goals to each person.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that fuel problems and helps clients try small, practical changes. That might mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, improving communication, or building routines that support mood and energy. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas about relationships, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral tools that change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they fit the situation. These methods are applied in simple, usable steps rather than technical explanations. Tkeyah has six years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW.
She practices from New York and works in English. She aims to create a supportive space where people feel heard and can try practical strategies to move forward. People often start by identifying one or two priorities - sleep, mood, a tense relationship, or managing cravings - and then build from there.
Progress is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. In online sessions this looks like talking through relationship histories, noticing recurring patterns, and practicing different ways of responding to others to build more supported interactions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows each person’s pace and priorities while reflecting what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical habits that change mood and behavior over time.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different tools. That might mean focusing on skill-building for emotion regulation, exploring attachment patterns, or using CBT exercises for low mood and anxiety.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
