About Kaniecia
Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for parents and individuals coping with stress, mood concerns, trauma, and attention differences such as ADHD. Her approach is warm and straightforward, and she aims to help people take the next step toward stability and clearer routines.
She uses clear, concrete strategies in sessions. That can mean working on coping skills for anxiety or mood swings, building parenting techniques, or creating a plan to manage attention and daily tasks.
Background and approach
She often brings simple mindfulness tools and skills from cognitive and dialectical approaches into conversation so clients can try new ways of handling distress. Much of her background is in crisis stabilization and behavioral support. She has experience providing case management and coaching for parents, helping them learn strategies to manage their child's behavior.
She has worked in settings that support people through trauma, grief, and intense life changes. In therapy she favors collaboration. She listens for strengths and practical goals, then helps set small, doable steps.
Sessions may include talk, role-play, and creative activities like art or play when that fits the person's needs. She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Kaniecia aims to help people grow new skills, improve communication, and organize day-to-day routines so life feels more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals based on the client's values and needs. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include clear steps and homework, such as tracking patterns or practicing new routines, and can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related organization, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and communication. It can be especially helpful for strong mood swings, anger, and learning skills to stay steady during hard moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps identify what works and what to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats help therapy fit into work, school, or family routines while keeping focus on practical progress.
