About Kenyatta
Kenyatta Dent is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi who draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and motivational interviewing approaches to help clients address emotional and behavioral challenges.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical goal setting and collaborative problem solving to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, difficulties with anger, low self-esteem, and issues related to addictions. Her style emphasizes empathy, genuine presence, and a respectful atmosphere where clients can explore barriers to change.
With three years licensed experience noted and a longer history working in mental health settings, she has provided individual and group interventions in educational and correctional environments. Her background includes school-based work with children facing behavioral and trauma-related concerns and facilitation of anger management, basic cognitive skills, and substance-focused groups in a correctional facility.
Dent holds a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling and a Master’s in Counseling/Psychology and practices with a focus on helping clients identify realistic steps forward and build skills to manage distress.
Therapeutic Methods and Online Care
Kenyatta integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and respected while they explore personal goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Kenyatta treats that as a collaborative conversation. She works with clients to clarify goals and preferences and will adapt techniques from these approaches to fit each person's needs. This flexible, person-focused stance helps clients find what feels most useful as they progress.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, school, or other responsibilities, and they allow clients to practice strategies between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
