Keniesha Francis, LMHC

Keniehsa Francis is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people feel steadier. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while combining other approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

She guides clients through clear, doable steps rather than long lectures. Sessions focus on real-life problems like family conflict, parenting strain, grief, anger, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with trauma, ADHD-related struggles, and big life changes.

With 17 years of experience in Florida, she brings a calm, creative style to sessions. She encourages clients to notice strengths and build new skills. She often incorporates spiritual resources when clients find that helpful and adapts tools to each person’s situation.

Her work is collaborative. She listens first, then offers short-term strategies and longer-term plans when needed. Tools can include goal-focused exercises, storytelling to reframe experiences, and motivational conversations to boost momentum.

People meet practical steps and straightforward talk in her sessions. The pace is set by the client and shaped by clear goals. She aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable for everyday life.

Approachable therapeutic methods for online care

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for steps like improving communication or managing impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit each person's needs, adjusting techniques over time. Clients can expect decisions about methods and goals to be made together in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone calls can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support short check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while tailoring how work happens to day-to-day life.
