More about Kenya

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Arkansas for 7 years as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients who struggle with trauma issues like sexual and physical abuse, depression, anger, and anxiety. I have also helped those with relationship and conflict issues, parenting problems and those with ADHD.

My counseling style is non-judgmental and compassionate. I believe in meeting people where they are and helping them become the best version of themselves. It is my goal to empower clients to reach individualized goals and objectives. My approach combines the strengths-based perspective, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and ecological perspectives. I enjoy teaching mindfulness, a growth mindset, and fostering the change process.

I support and am in awe of anyone who seeks intervention toward healing and happiness. Could this be you?

I look forward to meeting and working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
