About
Keleisha Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field. Keleisha specializes in helping people from various walks of life who have dealt with such issues as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and phase of life transitions, as well as teens who self-harm, and parents in need of support. She believes that counseling can provide clients with self-examination, alternative points of view, concrete steps, and skills to see them through this endeavor call life. In counseling, one can learn new ways to make better choices and conduct relationships with evidenced-based techniques. Keleisha uses techniques from family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy to help her clients gain insight, restructure negative thoughts, and find coping skills to manage symptoms of one’s diagnosis.
Keleisha believes that people experience life in numerous ways. No one is always living the ideal life; no one is always perfect, or armored for everything life brings in their path. Triumphantly or despairingly, whether for short or long periods of time, whichever way you are experiencing life, counseling is here for you. You may need a safe place to work through your issues, a shoulder to lean on, or have in-depth introspection; whatever you are dealing with, counseling is here for you. Many people want to have the best relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. Many people want joy, companionship, and to figure out their place in life. Some people want to belong. Counseling is here for them.
It may seem scary to begin changing and improving your life, but it is not impossible. The possibilities are endless of what you can learn and how strong you can become. You have the potential to rebuild broken relationships. Take a chance on improving your life, learning better ways of dealing with issues in relationships, and finding joy by coming in for counseling. Contact Keleisha for counseling today; your time will not be wasted because seeking to improve yourself is never a waste of time.

I utilize emotionally focused therapy. This methodology helps the couple understand their negative cycle and what causes them to have distress. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on adult relationships and attachment bonding.
I teach the couple tools to improve their communication, understand the type of negative cycle that occurs, and improve on their emotional regulation.
I know that the couple is making meaningful progress by starting to identify patterns in their relationship as well as underlying emotions and have decreased their dysregulation in their daily lives.
I utilize many resources to help the couple determine what their attachment style is, as well as love languages, and I utilize emotionally focused workbooks for couples to guide them through learning how to interact and communicate more effectively.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Our therapists in Manassas VA, near Wellington and in Prince William County, have enough experience working with couples to know that neither dream is better or worse. The challenge is reconciling your vision with the picture your partner has for the future.
When you and your partner aren’t on the same page, it can cause friction in the relationship. This can manifest in a multitude of ways, from stony silence when ideas are challenged to fiery rebukes when the wrong thing is said.
Even if your relationship isn’t in crisis, our counselors and therapists can help you identify areas you might need to work on and address them before they become a problem. Our couples therapists and counselors can show ways to improve communications, to allow each of you to share your vision for what each of you wants from the relationship.
