How Kenita uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your priorities and values. The therapist offers listening, empathy, and questions that help you clarify what matters and set goals. This approach helps when you need support sorting through difficult decisions or rebuilding confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Kenita uses CBT techniques to help people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, or phobias. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps best.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video lets you see facial cues and do longer check-ins. Phone sessions can be a simple option when video is not practical. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, on-the-go support, or when you want a written record of the conversation. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to get steady support between in-depth sessions.
