About Kenita
Kenita Perry-Bell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience combining therapy and life coaching to support people through major life challenges.
Background and approach
She has extensive background in behavioral health and substance use work, and she draws on that experience when helping clients navigate concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, addiction, and ADHD. A breast cancer survivor, she also welcomes conversations with women and family members affected by cancer.
Her style is described as warm and interactive, guided by compassion and respect. Kenita uses an integrative, client-centered approach that blends mindfulness techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and psychodynamic thinking to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools while also attending to deeper patterns that influence emotions and behavior. Currently she is accepting clients who prefer to use the chat feature for sessions.
Kenita is licensed in Illinois as an LCSW and brings a supportive, strengths-based perspective to those seeking change, coping strategies, or coaching through life transitions.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Kenita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and skills for managing stress, emotional regulation, and coping with chronic illness or grief. These approaches are applied in ways that emphasize skill-building as well as deeper understanding of recurring patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kenita collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting plans over time so treatment remains relevant and useful. Clients and therapist make decisions together about pacing, focus, and techniques.
Online therapy formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access coaching and therapeutic support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing work.
