About Kaniecia

Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. She holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy, and has worked extensively with concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting difficulties, relationship struggles, life transitions, anger, and ADHD. Her practice also includes care for people who have experienced trauma, including physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.

Much of her work has focused on crisis stabilization, creating safety plans, building healthy coping skills, strengthening natural supports, and increasing awareness of each personâs challenges. She has provided therapy and behavioral support to children and adolescents ages 5 to 19, served as a Therapeutic Behavioral Services clinician offering case management and parent-focused behavior strategies, and now supervises clinical staff who deliver services to clients ages 0 to 21.

Her counseling style is warm, authentic, and collaborative, guided by respect, compassion, and a nonstigmatizing approach. She uses a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and eclectic framework that draws on client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and other techniques as needed. Treatment is tailored to each person or family, and she often incorporates art, creativity, and play into sessions to support engagement and growth.

Kaniecia aims to walk alongside clients as they identify goals and develop practical steps toward change, offering support and accountability throughout the process.

Clinical Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s perspective guides the work. It helps people explore values, strengths, and goals while a therapist offers empathy and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support clients managing intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to assess needs, try techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Many people find that remote sessions increase accessibility while allowing therapists to use the same clinical tools and collaborative planning they would in person.
