About Keniesha
Kaniesha Francis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related struggles. She also addresses parenting, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, and life transitions.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Keniesha mixes structured, goal-oriented methods with conversational work to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to test new responses.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused and narrative techniques. She also uses ideas from the Gottman Method for relationship concerns and motivational interviewing when people want help finding direction or staying motivated. These methods are used to guide problem-solving, communication practice, and coping skills.
Keniesha often includes clients' spiritual resources when relevant and adapts exercises to fit daily routines. She describes herself as creative and prefers straightforward, respectful interactions rather than clinical distance. The focus is on clear, manageable steps that make differences in day-to-day life.
To begin, a person would complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The therapist aims to make the process direct and practical so people can see which strategies help them move forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Keniesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and to test small, practical changes that can reduce symptoms or improve functioning. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work, focusing on communication skills and specific interaction patterns to improve how people talk and connect. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help clarifying goals and increasing motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust approaches based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to use and which to drop.
