About Keniesha
Keriesha Francis is a licensed mental health counselor with 17 years of experience helping people through hard times. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She aims to meet people where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels manageable.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. That includes the Gottman Method for relationship work, cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to support personal change.
Background and approach
Sessions are direct and collaborative, with clear steps to practice between meetings. Keniesha takes a whole-person view that can include spiritual resources when clients want that. She prefers an open, nonjudgmental style and looks for strengths the client already has.
Her work often focuses on communication, setting boundaries, managing anger, and coping with life transitions. She also addresses parenting concerns, blended family dynamics, codependency, commitment and intimacy questions, and issues tied to family of origin. Keniesha has supported people dealing with impulsivity, emptiness, and finding life purpose.
The approach adapts to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Her practice offers several ways to meet, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The emphasis is on practical changes that fit day-to-day life.
She encourages those ready to take a step toward feeling better to begin the matching process and schedule a first session.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Keniesha commonly uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication. This approach focuses on practical skills for expressing needs, listening, and rebuilding connection during conflict. It can help people who want clearer communication and fewer recurring arguments.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. CBT often includes short exercises and practice you can do between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help finding internal motivation for change, and it emphasizes listening, reflecting, and setting small achievable goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Expect to try strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are convenient for brief updates, quick coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
