About Kenya

Kenya Rouska-Reidy is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, mood difficulties, relationship struggles, and trauma.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of clinical experience to therapy and draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, and dialectical behavior therapy to tailor care to each person's needs.

Kenya emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building to address concerns like anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, substance use, grief, self-esteem, eating concerns, and ADHD.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California and experience treating a broad range of presentations, including intimacy and relationship challenges, parenting-related stress, and the emotional effects of major life change.

Kenya describes therapy as a partnership: she works with clients to identify goals and choose methods that fit their values and circumstances. She aims to create a warm, accepting atmosphere where people can develop tools for coping, improve communication, and pursue meaningful personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life, which can aid with avoidance, mood symptoms, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and emotional bonds to improve connection and reduce relational distress for those experiencing attachment or intimacy difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques from different models so care can be adapted as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and from different locations within Texas. These formats support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow clients to practice skills between sessions using the communication style that works best for them.
