Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kaniecia Mixon draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a respectful space where clients lead the conversation while the therapist offers support and reflection - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving communication, and exploring personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical strategies and skill building - it can be effective for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and many daily challenges.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, which can be useful for clients coping with overwhelming stress or recurrent conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kaniecia collaborates with each client to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust the plan so the therapy approach matches goals and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from wherever the client is located in California.
