About Niyabinghi
Niyabinghi Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and related problems such as ADHD and grief. Niyabinghi also supports individuals dealing with career strain, addictions, anger, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
She favors a straightforward, interactive style. Sessions involve open conversation and practical problem solving rather than lectures. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.
Mindfulness strategies and solution-focused tools are also part of her work. These approaches are used to build short-term coping skills and to clarify immediate goals. She emphasizes pacing care to what the person feels ready to try, and avoids pushing change faster than someone wants.
Her background combines psychotherapy and life coaching experience. Niyabinghi has supported people through trauma, mood issues, and relationship conflict, and she brings that range into each session. She frames the process as collaborative - listening first, then offering options that fit the person's needs.
Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around concrete steps people can use between meetings. People interested in beginning are invited to follow the site's sign-up flow to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's priorities, with the therapist following the client's pace and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety.Choosing the best method is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, current struggles, and what feels doable, then pick strategies to try. That plan can change as progress or needs shift, so decisions are collaborative rather than fixed.
Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around a workday, and make it simpler to use tools and worksheets between meetings. The therapist will discuss what session rhythm and format will best fit the client's schedule and goals.
