About Carneisha
Carneisha Henry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, coping with life changes, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She also lists career strain and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She works from approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide that work.
Carneisha talks through patterns that keep problems active, such as codependency, impulsivity, or substance use. She also addresses issues tied to guilt, shame, infidelity, jealousy, and aspects of personality that complicate daily life. The aim is to reduce immediate distress and build clearer ways of responding to hard situations.
Her background includes supporting people who have survived sexual assault and abuse, and helping those managing co-occurring concerns like drug and alcohol addiction. She uses CBT and DBT skills to teach coping techniques and to practice different responses to painful thoughts and urges.
She asks practical questions in early sessions to learn what matters most to each person. From there she and the client set short-term goals and try small changes that can fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. It focuses on the person’s own goals and values and is useful when someone needs straightforward support for life changes, family stress, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling impulsivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as they learn what helps. Early sessions typically include setting short-term goals and choosing a few skill-based practices to try between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports working on practical skills in the context of everyday life, such as practicing a grounding skill during a break or using CBT worksheets between sessions.
