About Carneisha
Carneisha Henry is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New York with five years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and the challenges of life changes. Sessions are framed around practical steps and clear goals to address pressing problems.
Her work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques. She uses straightforward conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Then she tries small, concrete experiments to test different ways of responding.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and motivational interviewing when helpful. These approaches add techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and strengthening motivation to change. The focus is on simple skills people can use between sessions.
Carneisha pays attention to situations that often overlap, such as substance use and co-morbid mental health concerns. She addresses issues like codependency, guilt and shame, impulsivity, jealousy, and problems tied to trauma and sexual assault in practical, step-by-step work. Career stress and compassion fatigue are treated with concrete coping strategies and planning.
People can expect clear discussions about goals, realistic steps, and ongoing review of progress. She asks questions, listens, and adjusts the plan as needed. To begin, follow the site’s process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT and skills-based work translate to online sessions
Carneisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, reviewing recent examples, and assigning small practice tasks to try before the next meeting. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, which means sessions include open, reflective conversation focused on the client’s priorities.She may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation or distress tolerance is needed. DBT skills are practical tools for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive responses. These methods are suited to issues like anxiety, depression, substance-related struggles, and stress from life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, suggest approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on how well they work. That conversation is part of the first few sessions so the plan can be practical and realistic.
