Karanequa Bagnerise, LCSW

Karanequa Bagnerise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She supports adults facing depression, trauma, addiction, grief, anger, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar symptoms. Her approach centers on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning.

She brings seven years of experience in community and integrated care settings. That background informs a steady, practical style aimed at creating stability during life changes or crises. Sessions focus on setting clear goals, strengthening coping skills, and building routines that hold up outside of therapy.

Karanequa uses a trauma-informed, client-centered style. She balances empathy with accountability and aims for straightforward communication. Therapy is collaborative: she works with each person to find what helps them feel more in control and less stuck.

In practice she offers assessment and crisis support alongside skill-building for emotional regulation. She helps people make realistic plans for change and tests small steps to see what works. The focus is on realistic, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Her work emphasizes that individuals are more than their diagnoses or pasts. The goal is to help people feel heard, supported, and empowered as they work toward clearer goals and steadier days.

How her approaches shape online work

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or starting healthier routines. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes. Sessions look for exceptions to problems and build on what is already working in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. Clients try strategies and adjust the plan together over time to find what helps most.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help sustain progress between in-person visits by keeping momentum through regular meetings with a licensed professional.
