About Kenyatta
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Illinois with 10 years of experience. Kenyatta Black helps people who are facing addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She conducts sessions in English and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical problems.
Black focuses on clear, usable steps in sessions. She talks through coping strategies for addictive behaviors and methods to handle trauma responses. She also works with people on relationship communication and building confidence.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions include discussion of specific situations, practicing different ways of responding, and setting short-term goals. She adapts conversations and the treatment plan to match each person’s needs and what works for them.
Clients can expect practical skills alongside talk therapy. For addiction concerns that may mean planning for high-risk moments and developing routines. For trauma and abuse it means grounding strategies and pacing the work to avoid overwhelm.
Black frames the work as collaborative. She listens to what matters to each person and adjusts techniques accordingly. This includes checking progress and changing goals when needed.

How her approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in straightforward ways. For addiction-related work she focuses on identifying triggers, planning concrete responses for high-risk moments, and building daily routines to reduce relapse risk. For trauma and abuse she uses pacing and grounding methods to help reduce distress and increase the ability to talk about difficult memories. For relationship concerns she practices communication skills and role-play to try new ways of interacting.Deciding which techniques to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences with the client and recommend approaches to try. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps in real life situations.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people choose audio-only sessions to reduce bandwidth or brief calls when a shorter check-in is preferable.
