About Kenyell

She emphasizes clear communication and works to make therapy a collaborative process where the person sets the pace and goals. She draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience across independent practice and agency settings.
Sessions focus on practical skills and exploring personal stories to find patterns that matter.
Background and approach
She uses a mind-body lens at times to notice how emotions show up in the body. Kenyell blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered ways of working, and she also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her toolkit for people processing traumatic memories.
She tailors methods to what each person needs rather than following a single formula. Her style is respectful and direct. She encourages active communication and partnership during treatment.
People can expect a focus on strengths, meaningful goals, and skills they can use between sessions. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Her combined credentials include MD and Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, reflecting long-term clinical work and a commitment to ethical practice.
The first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling to find a good fit.

Online session options
Narrative and Skills-Based Care Online
People can expect Narrative Therapy in sessions, which looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories in ways that reduce suffering and build agency. Narrative work is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life purpose questions.Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach. It focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting people to lead their own treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds hands-on tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors and is often used for anxiety and depression.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. That collaboration helps create a plan that fits real life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
