Karanequa Bagnerise, LCSW

Karanequa Bagnerise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and build a steadier day-to-day routine. Her work centers on supporting people through grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and complex emotional responses to difficult experiences.

With seven years of experience, she brings work from community and integrated care settings into sessions. That background shapes a grounded, practical style that aims for clear, achievable goals. She uses assessment and crisis support when needed and helps clients strengthen emotional regulation skills.

Her approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. Sessions are meant to be non-judgmental, respectful, and consistent. She balances compassion with accountability to help clients make real, lasting changes.

Karanequa often combines motivational techniques and solution-focused tools to help people move through ambivalence and set workable goals. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when addressing the effects of past harm and on systemic ideas to look at relationships and patterns that affect daily life.

Therapy with her is collaborative: she helps clients name goals, try new coping strategies, and track progress. People can expect straightforward communication and a focus on building stability during transitions or times of distress.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or starting healthier routines. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and existing strengths to produce quick, manageable progress toward concrete goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as goals shift or new issues arise so treatment stays relevant and useful.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue steady work on goals when life events or transitions make in-person visits difficult.
