More about Kianni

- LMHC
I am a Licensed Therapist with Diagnostic Privilege Certification in New York, bringing six years of clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional challenges. I am also a Certified Anger Management Specialist, and a Registered Behavior Technician. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, mood concerns, anger, relationship dynamics, and the nuanced patterns that shape human behavior.
I am especially committed to empowering diverse individuals and honoring intersectional experiences. I understand that identity, culture, and lived experience deeply influence how we move through the world — and I create a space where those layers are welcomed, respected, and explored with care.
My philosophy is rooted in sustainability. Therapy is not about curing or fixing — it is about equipping individuals with tools to manage life’s challenges effectively, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change over time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
