Kianna Cole, LCSW

Kianna Cole is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes. Kianna writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

In sessions she talks through what is most pressing and builds a plan that fits daily life. Conversations cover coping skills for anxiety, strategies to reduce substance-related harm, and ways to rebuild confidence after setbacks. She pays attention to the social and legal pressures that can affect well-being, such as experiences tied to criminal justice involvement.

Kianna adapts the pace and focus based on each person's situation. That can mean short skill-based work one week and deeper reflection the next. She aims to keep things straightforward and useful so progress can be noticed between sessions.

Her approach includes practical problem solving, setting small achievable goals, and checking what actually helps day to day. Kianna also addresses identity-related stress and the specific challenges that can come with being LGBTQ. Conversations include both immediate coping and longer-term changes people want to make.

People who contact her typically want clear next steps and help applying them in their daily routines. To begin, she asks a few questions up front so the first meeting can focus on priorities rather than catching up on basics.
