About Keniesha
Keniesha Francis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, grief, self-esteem, ADHD and life transitions. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She treats clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include talking through patterns, identifying small, doable changes, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Keniesha combines several methods to meet the needs people bring. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on solution-focused work to set short-term goals and narrative ideas to help people reframe their personal stories.
She also incorporates relationship-focused tools, including elements of the Gottman Method for communication and interaction patterns. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure where to start. The result is a flexible, task-oriented style that aims for clear steps and measurable progress.
Sessions are designed to be practical and respectful of each person's values and background. Keniesha encourages people to use spiritual resources if that fits their beliefs. To begin, follow the site prompts to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Keniesha uses cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of the Gottman Method in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and interaction patterns in relationships and can help people improve how they talk and resolve conflict.Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolbox. It helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation for change when they feel stuck. These methods are used collaboratively - the therapist and client decide together which approach fits the client’s goals and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full office visit is hard to arrange. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which approach and session setup would work best for your situation.
