About Keniesha
Kenesha Francis is a licensed mental health counselor with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain.

Her style is practical and compassionate, aimed at making therapy feel useful from the start.
Kenesha draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
How Keniesha works
She also uses Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and elements of the Gottman Method guide work on communication and intimacy concerns. Clients often bring family tensions, parenting stress, issues around trust or abandonment, and the lingering effects of trauma and abuse.
Keniesha also supports people dealing with anger, impulsivity, emptiness, and questions about life purpose. She is experienced with ADHD-related challenges and with disruptions like divorce, blended family struggles, and fatherhood questions. Her sessions mix talking, skill practice, and goal-setting.
She encourages using spiritual resources when that matters to the person. Expect a friendly, nonjudgmental tone and creative ways to try new approaches when usual strategies aren’t helping. Kenesha works with people in Florida and offers several online formats.
She aims to make the first steps straightforward and respectful, helping each person find practical ways forward. Background and approach: Keniesha has spent nearly two decades in clinical roles across diverse settings in Florida. That experience shapes a flexible approach that blends evidence-informed methods with personal strengths and values.
She prioritizes clear goals, steady progress, and adapting tools so they fit each person’s life and schedule.

How these approaches translate online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation. The Gottman Method centers on practical communication skills and small, concrete changes in how people relate, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and recurring conflict. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to shift habits or try different choices when they feel stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she tailors methods and checks in regularly so the plan stays aligned with the client's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions offer a simpler option that uses less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or other routines while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
