About Keniesha
Keniesha Francis is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.
She approaches care in a practical way. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and draws on their existing strengths. Sessions include conversations about what is happening now, looking at patterns that keep problems going, and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Her work brings together several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens space for new meanings. Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing support quick, goal-oriented steps when change feels urgent.
She also uses ideas from relationship work to address communication and connection problems in families and partnerships. Parents and adults concerned about fatherhood, blended family issues, abandonment, or codependency may find sessions that focus on practical communication and boundary strategies.
Keniesha says she is creative in session and will introduce techniques that connect with a client's spiritual resources when that is important to them. The aim is straightforward: make sessions useful and give clients tools they can use between meetings.

How sessions work
How Keniesha uses approaches online

CBT is hands-on and often includes practice tasks to do between sessions.She also draws on the Gottman Method ideas for relationship and communication work, focusing on specific interaction skills and repair strategies that can ease ongoing conflict. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck; it helps clarify goals and strengthens motivation for change.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Keniesha will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that match the problem and adjust them as needed.
