Kaniecia Mixon, LMFT

Kaniecia Mixon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She creates a warm, straightforward space where people can talk about what feels hard and start making practical changes. Kaniecia aims to help clients build stronger coping skills, clearer communication, and healthier self regard. Her background includes work with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and parenting concerns. She has also supported people facing grief, relationship struggles, eating and body image issues, and major life transitions. Much of her early work focused on crisis stabilization, safety planning, and hands-on behavioral support for children, teens, and their caregivers. Kaniecia blends several approaches into a style that stays focused on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing when helpful. She often brings creativity into sessions through art and play to make progress feel more natural. In practice she helps parents learn behavior strategies, supports people recovering from trauma, and assists those trying to rebuild confidence after major life changes. She also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Kaniecia presents therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for strengths, helps set clear goals, and supports clients in trying new skills between sessions. Her tone is respectful and nonjudgmental, and she encourages steady, realistic steps toward change.
