About Liberty

Liberty Kenyon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Rhode Island with 30 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, family concerns, and LGBT-related issues. Liberty also addresses codependency and a range of related challenges such as attachment and abandonment issues.

She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now, notice patterns that keep repeating, and try different ways of handling difficult moments. Liberty aims to help people who often put others first and lose sight of their own needs to notice those patterns and begin changing them.

Over three decades of work have included a wide variety of client concerns. That background informs how she helps people manage stress, cope with trauma, and work through relationship and family tensions. She brings experience with areas like adoption and foster care, aging concerns, chronic illness and pain, and identity issues connected to LGBT experience.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Conversations look at feelings, behavior, and the everyday choices that shape relationships. Sessions can include teaching simple skills for setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, and making clearer requests of others.

Liberty accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect a person to a first session using the site's booking flow.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions

Liberty describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day patterns and skills. One common approach teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and steps to interrupt worry. This helps people handle intense moments and reduce daily distress.

Another useful method looks at attachment and relationship patterns. This involves mapping recurring interactions, noticing where boundaries are weak, and practicing new ways of asking for needs to be met. It can support people who struggle with people-pleasing, codependent behaviors, or repeated relationship cycles.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. Liberty will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods based on what helps in early sessions. The therapist and client together track what feels useful and change course if needed.

The therapist's biography does not list which session formats she uses, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions may use less bandwidth, while video sessions allow visual interaction for role-play and practicing boundary conversations. Licensed professionals can explain the best format when you schedule the first appointment.
