About Kenyatta
Kenyatta Dent is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and concerns like low self-esteem, anger, and addictions.

She uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she helps clients set clear goals and looks for concrete solutions to emotional problems.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by empathy and respect, with an emphasis on understanding each person's experience. Kenyatta has three years of licensed practice and additional experience working in mental health settings. She has provided school-based services to children with behavioral challenges and supported individuals in correctional settings with substance use concerns.
She also leads groups focused on anger management and basic cognitive skills. Her academic background includes a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling and a Master’s in Counseling/Psychology. Those degrees inform the practical tools she brings to sessions, such as strategies for reducing anxious thoughts and skills for managing strong emotions.
People who choose her can expect a warm, nonjudgmental approach and help developing step-by-step plans. Kenyatta aims to collaborate on what will work in day-to-day life rather than offering abstract advice.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore feelings and choose their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxious or negative thinking. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds motivation step by step.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kenyatta will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or texting lets someone send brief updates or ask quick questions between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
