Approaches That Guide Online Care

Bennisha McKinney draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship in which clients lead the pace of their work and feel heard - an approach well suited to people coping with stress, relationship concerns, or life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, panic symptoms, low mood, and everyday coping. When motivation is a barrier, Motivational Interviewing helps clients explore their values and strengthen commitment to change in a collaborative way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bennisha works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors techniques so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or other locations. These formats make it simpler to maintain regular sessions, try different ways of working, and stay connected with a licensed professional as life demands shift.
