About Kaniecia
Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers mindfulness in her approach to care. She blends calm, focused awareness with practical skills to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship strain. Her style is warm and collaborative, aiming to meet people where they are and support steady change.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy. Over 15 years she has worked in crisis stabilization and behavior support. That work included creating safety plans, teaching coping skills, and building natural supports for clients and caregivers.
Mixon has experience with trauma from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and with mood concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. She has also helped people with parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, eating and body image concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving and life transitions.
Her methods draw from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, and mindfulness practices. She adapts sessions to the individual and uses art, creativity, and play when helpful to engage people across ages.
Previously she provided therapeutic behavioral services to children and adolescents and has supervised clinical staff serving young people. Mixon emphasizes strength-based care and works alongside people to set goals, try new strategies, and track progress toward those goals.
How mindfulness and practical methods translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on bringing calm, present-moment attention to strong emotions and difficult thoughts. It helps people notice patterns, reduce reactivity, and practice small shifts in daily life to ease anxiety and stress.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens and reflects so people can identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior into smaller parts and teaches step-by-step skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that match your goals and preferences. That may include mixing mindfulness, CBT, and client-centered strategies so sessions feel useful and clear.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are offered before booking, as the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people use practices learned in session in their everyday settings. Licensed professionals adapt tools like mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets to work well over distance and help you practice skills between meetings.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
