Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Kenita Perry-Bell uses a blend of proven approaches to meet each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and goals of work - this approach helps with self-exploration, confidence, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills development. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce stress and increase emotional regulation, which can support grief, trauma responses, and everyday worry.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kenita collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that integrates practical tools and deeper reflective work.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to connect from different locations. Sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the format that best fits their schedule and comfort. These options support ongoing access to licensed professionals and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
