Kenita Perry-Bell

Kenita Perry-Bell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience as a therapist and life coach. She brings practical, down-to-earth support to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Kenita also offers help for addiction-related issues and for those coping with grief, illness, or major life changes.

She draws on a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Mindfulness practices are part of her work, along with cognitive-behavioral ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions are guided by what each person needs, with a focus on compassion and respect.

Kenita describes her style as warm and interactive. Conversations are collaborative and geared toward clear, manageable steps. She aims to help people notice patterns, try new strategies, and build skills for everyday life.

Her background includes years in behavioral health and work with people facing substance use challenges. As a breast cancer survivor, she is also particularly understanding of cancer-related stresses and the ripple effects on family and caregiving roles.

People who choose Kenita can expect a flexible, individualized plan. She supports work on parenting strain, career transitions, caregiver stress, and issues such as attachment, abandonment, and forgiveness. The overall goal is to help people gain steadier footing and clearer choices.

If someone is ready to begin, Kenita emphasizes partnership, guidance, and practical tools to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy is used to help people slow down and notice what is happening in the body and mind. Small practices are taught to reduce reactivity and support managing anxiety, stress, and sleep problems.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify goals and make decisions that feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) introduces simple tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes by breaking concerns into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenita will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to use and how to adapt them. Together they set goals, try new skills, and check what is helping.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice mindfulness and CBT tools between meetings to reinforce progress.
