She holds the credentials LCPC and LMHC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and has focused her work on supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, motivation struggles, self-esteem and confidence concerns, career challenges, and depression.

Kenyotta emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping individuals identify practical steps toward a more fulfilling life. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin that process and offers steady support as clients pursue greater well-being and resilience.

Kenyotta brings a client-centered style that prioritizes each person’s goals and preferences throughout therapy.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than on a set of techniques. In this approach the therapist offers empathy, active listening, and validation so clients can explore their feelings and values and work toward self-directed change. It is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and managing life transitions.

Kenyotta approaches sessions with respect for each client's pace and priorities, collaborating to identify goals and decide which methods feel most useful. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - she works together with clients to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online therapy with Kenyotta is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access support from different locations. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and enable therapists and licensed professionals to adapt sessions to the client’s preferred style and pace.
