About Keena
Keena Grimes is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems, including struggles with self-esteem and feelings of guilt and shame.
Keena helps people identify what they need and build on strengths they already have. She uses practical skills and strategies during sessions to manage symptoms and increase emotional steadiness. Sessions are framed by a trauma-informed and strength-based outlook that centers the client’s pace and preferences.
Her approach focuses on clear, usable tools rather than only talking about problems. That can mean learning ways to handle panic, improve communication, set boundaries after separation, or process painful events. She discusses options and works toward methods the client is willing to try.
Keena often supports people dealing with relationship issues like infidelity, jealousy, blended family stress, or divorce-related conflict. She also addresses mood concerns such as postpartum depression, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress with attention to everyday coping skills.
In first sessions she aims to understand current concerns and what matters most to the client. From there she and the client pick goals and simple steps to move forward. She asks clients to notice what helps and adjusts the plan as needed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Keena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical way. For example, a trauma-informed method focuses on recognizing how past events affect current reactions and on building skills to manage triggers and distress. That can help people who carry shame or feel stuck by old hurts.She also uses strength-based practices that identify existing coping skills and add new strategies. This often looks like setting small, achievable goals, practicing breathing or grounding exercises, and rehearsing different ways to respond in stressful conversations.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. The plan can be adjusted as the client notices what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-in sessions, and avoid travel time. It also allows choices like sessions without video when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed.
