About Kenya
Kenya Evans-Pinckney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 13 years of professional experience. She has worked in mental health residential programs and at a large not-for-profit in New York City. Kenya has provided individual and group counseling and also supervises bicultural staff and oversees program administration.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. Her background includes work with substance use and domestic violence, and she supports individuals facing workplace problems, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.
Kenya uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches to help people change patterns of thinking, handle strong emotions, and set achievable goals. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills clients can use between meetings.
Her experience includes both one-on-one counseling and group work. That mix means she can offer techniques that work in day-to-day life and options for practicing skills with others when appropriate.
People who come for help with anger can expect a direct, skills-focused approach. Kenya helps clients name triggers, try different responses in the moment, and build longer-term strategies for managing resentment, workplace frustration, and family tension.
How sessions work
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaborating to set goals and priorities, helping people feel heard and involved in decisions about their care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change in manageable steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenya partners with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as progress is reviewed and new priorities appear.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people try skills between meetings and maintain continuity when life gets hectic.
