He also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability, caregiver stress, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Keesey helps people with financially related stress, questions about life purpose, and conflicts that involve narcissistic behavior. He addresses shame, forgiveness, and problems that come from overwhelming emotion or repeated negative patterns.

How his approaches translate to online work
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete changes in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests small changes in daily life to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This kind of work helps with panic attacks, stress, and low mood by giving practical tools to try between sessions.Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns. That work looks at how past connections shape current trust, intimacy, and communication, and then practices new ways of relating that can ease repeated conflict and loneliness.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what is helping. Decisions about focus and method are made together, using the client's priorities and responses as the guide.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the original biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may also be better for lower-bandwidth situations or for sessions that do not require video; check current options when you sign up.
