Kenyetta holds the credentials LICSW, LCSW, and CSW and practices in North Carolina. She brings five years of professional experience to sessions and draws on a mix of approaches to tailor care to each person. Her background includes work supporting people with drug and alcohol addiction and those dealing with caregiver stress.

In the room she helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. She also teaches grounding and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm and build self-awareness. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, empathetic style and tools they can use between visits. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Kenyetta blends cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing into straightforward, practical work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what matters to the client and builds motivation for change, which can be useful when addressing addictions.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help regulate intense emotions and build present-moment awareness. Finding the right mix is part of the process; Kenyetta will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a client's goals, temperament, and needs rather than applying one fixed method.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to remote sessions so you still learn skills, practice new behaviors, and track progress over time.
