About Kenyetta
Kenyetta Cooper is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with five years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, work through grief and loss, and address depression. Kenyetta focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions and practical strategies for day-to-day life.
She uses a mix of approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building skills for emotion regulation. Conversations are straightforward and aim to identify small, useful changes people can make right away.
Kenyetta also pays attention to issues that often complicate recovery, such as blended family stress, caregiver strain, codependency, and substance use concerns. She has experience addressing first responder and veteran-related stress and with obsessive or compulsive patterns. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than long lectures.
Her style supports people who want structured, practical work. Expect clear goal-setting, simple behavior experiments, and short skill practices to try between meetings. Progress is measured in what clients can do differently in daily life.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The clinician works with each person to choose approaches and plan next steps based on their goals and circumstances.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kenyetta commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors, and on DBT skills to teach practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance. CBT helps people spot patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood and then try small behavior experiments. DBT provides short, repeatable skills for handling strong emotions without making things worse.She also uses client-centered and motivational interviewing elements to support goals people set for themselves. That means the therapist listens for what matters most and helps plan steps that fit each person’s priorities. Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative and may shift as goals change.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that reinforce new skills. Practical online sessions can focus on short skill practice, reviewing homework, and planning small behavior experiments that people can use between meetings.
