Kenyatta Dent is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi who focuses on helping people move past anxiety, depression, stress, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem. She uses goal-setting and practical problem solving to reduce what feels overwhelming.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify small steps they can take between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses CBT skills to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or feels stuck. Before independent practice work she spent time in schools supporting children with behavior challenges and attention differences.
She has also worked in correctional settings providing individual and group counseling for people with substance use disorders, and she has led anger management and basic cognitive skills groups. Those roles shaped her practical, skills-focused approach. Kenyatta holds a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling and a master’s in Counseling/Psychology, and she lists three years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Her sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people set clear, manageable steps and checks progress each week. People choose her when they want straightforward tools, honest conversation, and steady support while they work toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Kenyatta uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and acceptance as they talk through feelings and decisions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT exercises work well online because they include practice between sessions and clear steps that can be reviewed over video or text.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels uncertain about change. It focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation through conversation rather than persuasion.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then tests what helps most. That way sessions stay practical and responsive to the person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Those options make therapy easier to fit into daily life while keeping the focus on skills and progress.
