About Kenya
Kenya Evans-Pinckney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 13 years of experience. She has worked across mental health, substance use, and domestic violence settings and brings that background into clinical work focused on everyday problems.

Money and financial issues, blended family dynamics, and workplace conflict are also part of her caseload.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors and on Motivational Interviewing to help people find what matters most to them. She also uses Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused techniques when those fit a person’s needs.
In practice she offers individual counseling and has experience leading groups and supervising staff in residential mental health programs.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s concerns. In practice this means sessions center on the client’s priorities and the therapist reflects back what is most important to help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It typically involves practical exercises and short homework tasks to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or workplace stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons to change and builds small steps toward those goals. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Kenya will work together with clients to decide which approach or combination fits their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses. Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins during a break, or reduce travel time for people juggling work and family. The focus is on practical ways to use therapy in everyday life rather than on strict methods alone.CAreas of focus
