About Keniesha

Kaniesha Francis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy, parenting, and ADHD.

She listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on practical steps. Sessions often look at current patterns, communication, and coping skills. She draws on a range of approaches to help people manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with diverse clients. She combines structured methods with conversation and reflective exercises. That can mean identifying thoughts that get in the way, practicing clearer communication, or setting small goals that build confidence.

Kaniesha also pays attention to spiritual resources when clients want that included. She describes herself as creative and willing to try different techniques to see what helps. The emphasis is on usable tools rather than jargon.

Many people come for help during life transitions such as breakups, parenting challenges, career changes, or grief. She encourages clients to take one manageable step at a time and tracks progress as therapy continues.

How Keniesha’s approaches translate to online work

Keniesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy among other approaches. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problem patterns by reworking the stories they tell about their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what shows progress. That collaboration continues as therapy moves forward and strategies are adjusted.

Confirm available session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the profile. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep momentum during study, work, or family demands while they try out strategies learned in sessions.
