Kenita Perry-Bell, LCSW

Kenita Perry-Bell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She combines therapy and life coaching skills to help people facing stress, grief, substance-related concerns, and other life changes. Kenita is also a breast cancer survivor and offers understanding to people affected by cancer and their family members.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are guided by compassion and respect, with attention to each person's unique story. She uses a mix of approaches and adapts sessions to what the client needs in the moment.

Kenita draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person's own goals and strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness tools appear in sessions to help manage anxiety, stress, and painful emotions.

Her background includes experience in health-related settings and work with people dealing with substance abuse and co-occurring concerns. She supports people navigating relationship strain, parenting stress, mood challenges, addiction, trauma, chronic illness, caregiver burden, and career transitions.

Kenita aims to guide, empower, and support people who are ready to make changes. To begin, she asks people to share their goals and then tailors a plan that fits those goals and their daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kenita uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's goals and strengths; this approach helps shape sessions so they match what matters most to each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to practice small, practical changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy provides simple attention and breathing practices that help with stress, grief, and coping with chronic health concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kenita will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Together they decide what tools and pacing feel most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it possible to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. These practical benefits can help people stay consistent while they learn skills and work toward their goals.
