About Kenyotta
Kenyotta Eugene Cross is a licensed clinician based in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, work struggles, and depression. She brings 20 years of experience to conversations about motivation, confidence, and life transitions. Her approach centers on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what matters to them.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen first and follow the client's lead. Sessions focus on the person's goals and what feels important right now.
Background and approach
That can mean talking through daily stressors, sorting out career choices, or finding ways to cope with big changes. Her background includes long experience supporting people with workplace issues and multicultural concerns. She also pays attention to accessibility, including work with people who are hearing impaired or visually impaired and those with intellectual disability.
This practical focus informs how she plans sessions and suggests strategies. Parents looking for guidance around childrearing or the stresses of parenting can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. She frames challenges as skills to develop rather than fixed problems, and she offers concrete steps you can try between sessions.
Kenyotta describes therapy as a partnership. She listens first, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set small, realistic goals. Over time those steps can add up to clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better coping in daily life.

How client-centered work fits with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what the client brings to each session. The therapist creates space to reflect your concerns, name emotions, and identify what you want to change. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and parenting-related worries because it centers the issues you care about.Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and adjust the approach as needed. That collaboration helps shape whether more practical problem-solving or open-ended conversations will be most useful for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or quick problem-solving between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules or different communication styles.
