About Kaniecia

Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers calm, practical help for people navigating tough times. She writes simply and listens closely to understand where someone is and what they want to change. Her approach is warm and direct, and she aims to walk alongside people as they set and meet real goals.

With 15 years of experience, she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma from physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. She has also helped those coping with parenting stress, anger, ADHD, eating and body-image concerns, and major life changes. Much of her work has included helping people build safety plans and develop coping skills.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy. She has worked as a Therapeutic Behavioral Services clinician providing case management and parenting coaching for children and teens. She currently supervises clinical staff who offer behavioral supports to young people and families.

In sessions she combines client-centered listening with practical tools drawn from cognitive-behavioral methods, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She adapts techniques to each person and may use creative tools like art and play when helpful. The focus is on clear steps, skills practice, and building supports.

People who choose to work with her can expect an open, nonjudgmental space where goals are set together and progress is checked in a straightforward way. She emphasizes safety, respect, and steady skill development throughout care.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. It gives space for the client to set priorities while the therapist reflects and supports change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaniecia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That could mean combining CBT skills practice with mindfulness exercises or drawing on client-centered conversation and motivational interviewing to boost commitment to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use less bandwidth by choosing audio over video or pick session times that line up with work or school breaks. The therapist will discuss practical options and help match a format to your daily routine and treatment goals.
