About Kenita

Kenita Perry-Bell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience as a therapist and life coach. She holds an MSW, which is a Master of Social Work, and is credentialed as an LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, reflecting advanced clinical training and practice. Over her career she has worked extensively within the health field and has supported people facing substance use concerns as well as a wide range of emotional and relational challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anger management, and grief and loss.

As a breast cancer survivor, she brings personal insight to conversations with women and family members who are living with or recovering from cancer, and she welcomes clients seeking that kind of understanding. Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and grounded in compassion and respect. Kenita uses an eclectic, holistic approach that integrates mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and psychodynamic ideas while remaining client-centered and adaptable to each person’s needs.

She aims to tailor sessions and treatment plans to individual goals and life circumstances, offering guidance, support, and empowerment throughout the change process. At this time she is accepting people who are interested in using the chat feature for therapy sessions, and she looks forward to working with individuals ready to take the next step toward healing and growth.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and strengths. The therapist offers empathy, active listening, and collaborative support to help people explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-directed coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to develop more effective problem-solving patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience. Practices drawn from mindfulness can help with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with chronic worry or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kenita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives, manage transportation or mobility challenges, and connect with a licensed professional from a convenient location.
