KyNisha Murphy , LPC

KyNisha Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, mood disorders, and career or life transitions. KyNisha writes plainly and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

She begins by listening carefully to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. KyNisha uses Client-Centered techniques to make space for a client's experience and to build trust together.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors. For trauma and abuse she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy approaches aimed at reducing the hold of painful memories and reactions. These methods are explained in simple terms and adapted to fit each person’s pace.

KyNisha has four years of counseling experience as an LPC and more than a decade working in counseling-related roles. She emphasizes collaboration and practical planning so therapy feels relevant to daily life. People often leave a session with one or two clear steps to try before the next meeting.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and use formats that fit busy schedules, such as video, phone, chat, or text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood; it helps people clarify their goals and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to address painful memories and reactions, with pacing adjusted to what the person can manage.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adapt methods over time so sessions match changing needs and progress feels practical and measurable.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving demands, or when fitting work breaks.
