Kaniecia Mixon

Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a direct, warm style to therapy. She focuses on everyday struggles like anger, depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, and trauma. Her approach aims to help people find clearer coping skills and make steady changes that fit their lives.

With 15 years of experience in California, she has worked in crisis stabilization and behavioral support. She has helped people who experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse and supported those navigating life changes, grief, and relationship strain. She has also supported parents learning hands-on strategies to manage children’s behaviors.

Mixon uses practical tools from multiple approaches. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and build collaboration. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are woven in when they help people meet goals.

Sessions often focus on safety, developing healthy coping skills, and increasing natural supports. She also works with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family stress, body image, codependency, and caregiver strain. The therapist includes creativity and play when it helps the work.

People who connect with her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and a plan tailored to their needs. She aims to walk alongside clients, help set achievable goals, and support follow-through during the changes they want to make.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard and involved in setting goals and deciding what change looks like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping during high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and tailor methods based on what each person needs. This is a shared decision so the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and skills coaching between appointments to practice new ways of responding to anger, stress, or relationship tensions.
