Kaniecia Mixon, LMFT

Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, anger, parenting stress, trauma, and relationship problems. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, grief, career strain, and self-esteem struggles.

She helps people who have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse and those coping with major life changes. Much of her background is in crisis stabilization and building practical coping skills. She has experience creating safety plans and strengthening natural supports around clients.

Mixon has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy. Her clinical work has included direct therapy and behavioral support for young people and families, and roles as a Therapeutic Behavioral Services clinician and program supervisor. That work involved case management and coaching parents in behavior strategies.

Her approach is person-centered and collaborative. She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to identify what clients want to change and then supports steps toward those goals. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy skills, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices as needed.

Sessions can include practical skill-building, communication strategies, and creative methods such as art or play when useful. She aims to help clients learn concrete ways to manage frustration, reduce resentful patterns, and handle relationship stress without judgment.
