About Keniesha
Keniesha Francis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.
Her background includes long-term work with a wide range of people. She invites clients to treat their own story as the starting point and to build on existing strengths. Sessions mix practical skills with conversations about what matters to each person. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Keniesha describes using approaches that draw on thought-behavior work, brief solution-oriented steps, and narrative techniques that help people make sense of difficult events. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to clarify goals and the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate. These methods are used to address specific problems such as anger, communication breakdowns, impulsivity, and family conflict.
She says spiritual resources can be part of the process when clients want that included. Her style is creative and straightforward: she offers techniques and practical ideas to try between sessions. She encourages people to notice small changes and to adjust plans if something is not helpful.
Clients in Florida can expect an approach focused on real-life problems. Keniesha asks questions, suggests tools, and helps set steps you can test out between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Keniesha uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression because it breaks problems into clear steps you can test in daily life. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for relationships, like improving communication and managing conflict in day-to-day interactions. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and build motivation to take the next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and choose methods together based on a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps set small, concrete goals and decide which techniques to practice between sessions.

These practical benefits help people try tools consistently and keep momentum between meetings.
