About Kenita

Background and approach
She draws on a background in health-related settings and has provided care for people coping with substance use concerns as well as a broad span of emotional and behavioral challenges. Kenita is also a breast cancer survivor and welcomes conversations with women and family members affected by breast cancer.
Her approach blends warmth and active collaboration, emphasizing compassion and respect while tailoring each plan to the individual. She uses an integrated set of methods including mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance to address issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress-related difficulties.
Kenita aims to guide, empower, and support those ready to make changes, and she currently offers services through the chat feature for interested clients.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Kenita draws from client-centered therapy, which places the person's experience and goals at the center of the work and emphasizes empathy and collaboration to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the direction of sessions based on individual priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and related behaviors; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties because it combines practical skills with structured reflection. Mindfulness therapy is another component of her toolbox and involves teaching present-focused awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can support emotional regulation and coping.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Kenita works collaboratively with clients to determine what methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people managing busy schedules or distance barriers. These options let licensed professionals deliver consistent care in varied formats so clients can engage in ways that feel most convenient and accessible to them.
