About Keniesha
Keniesha Francis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns. She also helps with trauma, self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and codependency-related issues. Keniesha aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Keniesha emphasizes a collaborative, down-to-earth style. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. She blends practical techniques with attention to spiritual resources when clients want that included. Her sessions often focus on small, concrete steps that lead to clearer choices and calmer days.
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tackle negative thinking and to support motivation for change. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy help people reframe their stories and set realistic goals. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and relationship stress.
Clients can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere and creative problem-solving. Keniesha says that starting therapy takes courage and she aims to make each session feel productive. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to try techniques between sessions.
Her practice supports a range of life challenges including abandonment, blended family issues, commitment and control concerns, impulsivity, and finding life purpose. She looks forward to working with those ready to take a next step toward change.
How her approaches inform online work
Keniesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, then practice small exercises that change how they respond to stress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters most and to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, habit changes, and motivation-related goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what the client wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so clients can use a lunch break or a quiet moment at home. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational conversations, and narrative work to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
