About Kenyetta

Kenyetta Cooper is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with five years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes. Kenyetta also focuses on codependency, caregiver strain, blended family tensions, and concerns tied to first responder and veteran experiences.

Her style is direct and person-focused. She listens first and then uses clear strategies people can try between sessions. Sessions often include straightforward skill-building from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

Kenyetta also draws on client-centered work that keeps the person’s goals at the center. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to explore change at a pace that feels manageable. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotional regulation or intense reactions are a problem.

In practical terms she helps people set limits with others, reduce people-pleasing patterns, manage cravings and urges, and cope with loss. Conversations cover small steps that fit everyday life and concrete practices to try between meetings.

She works in English and practices in North Carolina. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work might fit their situation.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through what matters most and agree on small steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT can be used to practice skills, track patterns, and set short exercises to do during the week. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and handling crises; those skills can be reviewed and practiced in remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adjust plans based on goals, life demands, and how someone responds to different techniques. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, or use less bandwidth by choosing audio rather than video. Licensed professionals use these choices to help people build skills and handle patterns like people-pleasing, boundary setting, and managing urges without promising specific outcomes.
