Keniesha Francis , LMHC

Kenesha Francis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who blends practical therapy methods with a strengths-based outlook. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. Keniesha invites people to bring whatever they are facing and works alongside them to find manageable steps forward.

With 17 years of experience, she draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions often include straightforward skills for coping, clearer ways to look at problems, and short-term strategies to set goals and measure progress. She also incorporates deeper work around personal stories and family patterns when that supports change.

Kenesha often helps people deal with parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, and life transitions. Additional focus areas include abandonment, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people managing ADHD and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) concerns.

Her style is practical and creative. She uses compassion and a nonjudgmental attitude while encouraging clients to use their own strengths. Spiritual resources can be part of the work when that fits a person’s values.

People can expect a collaborative approach that favors clear steps and real-world change. Keniesha emphasizes building a working rapport and finding techniques that move daily life forward. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and looks forward to helping clients progress.

Online approaches that focus on goals and stories

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship patterns and practical communication skills to improve connection and manage conflict. It is useful when intimacy or communication problems are a central concern. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative approach that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together you will try methods that fit your situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and ease of access. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer session time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
