About Kaniecia
Kaniecia Mixon is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, parenting struggles, trauma and major life changes. She also supports concerns related to ADHD, grief, relationship problems, and self-esteem.
She often uses Client-Centered methods to listen and clarify what matters to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used to build emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.
Her background includes providing behavioral support and crisis stabilization for young people and families. That work involved developing safety plans, teaching coping skills, and supporting parents with behavior management strategies. She has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and blended family challenges.
Kaniecia’s style is collaborative and direct. She helps clients set clear goals and tracks progress over time. She also integrates motivational interviewing to support change and commitment issues, and narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.
Practical tools are a regular part of sessions. Clients may work on communication skills, problem-solving for career and life transitions, or strategies for managing eating and body-image struggles. The focus is on useful steps people can try between sessions.
She practices in California and conducts work in English. People interested in starting are invited to complete the sign-up questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How Kaniecia’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people name what matters to them. In practice this means sessions start with what the client wants to address and the therapist follows their lead to build goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors between sessions, useful for depression, anxiety, and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Techniques include distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills that can be practiced in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying short experiments to see what helps most.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help sessions integrate with work, family, and other commitments.
