Kiara Yancey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate LGBTQ+ concerns, family-related stress, low self-esteem, depression, and big life transitions.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken plainly. Sessions emphasize listening, practical problem solving, and building confidence.

Over a decade of work has given her experience with a range of life changes, from relationship shifts to identity questions. She encourages gradual steps and small experiments that fit into daily life. The focus is on realistic goals and practical skills that people can use right away.
Kiara practices in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English. She welcomes questions about how therapy might look for someone and supports people as they try out new ways of coping and connecting.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Kiara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. Many clients find brief skills work helpful for depression and low self-esteem, where the therapist and client identify small, doable experiments to try between meetings. She also focuses on communication skills to address family conflict and on strategies to cope with guilt, shame, and abandonment fears.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kiara will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She listens to what matters most, adjusts methods over time, and checks in about what is helping or needs to change.
If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people try new skills in real-world settings and follow up quickly on what was discussed in the prior meeting.
