About Keniesha
Kentiesha Francis is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Keniesha also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, intimacy issues, ADHD, and life transitions.
She approaches therapy as a practical collaboration. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on skills and conversations that reduce reactive patterns and improve daily functioning.
Her work draws on a mix of methods that aim to change thought patterns and behavior, improve communication, and rewrite unhelpful narratives. She is comfortable combining structured techniques with conversational coaching to help people move forward. Expect clear, goal-oriented steps alongside space to reflect on past wounds.
Kentiesha pays attention to spiritual resources when clients find them meaningful and will suggest techniques you can practice between sessions. She describes herself as creative and willing to try different ways to make therapy useful. The tone she aims for in sessions is nonjudgmental and direct.
If you are managing anger that shows up as snapping, simmering resentment, or sudden outbursts, she works on practical strategies to notice triggers and respond differently. The initial process includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to get started.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Keniesha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. It offers simple exercises you can practice between meetings to change how you react to triggers. The Gottman Method emphasizes communication skills and problem-solving in relationships and can help reduce conflict and rebuild trust through concrete behavioral changes.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change. That approach is conversational and helps clarify what matters most when motivation has waned. Together these methods give practical tools and a roadmap rather than abstract talk; Keniesha will work with clients to decide which fits best for their goals and preferences.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, enable shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will discuss how sessions will be scheduled and what form they will take during the matching and intake steps.
