Dr. Keyonne Spencer

I'm Dr. Keyonne Spencer, DMFT, LPC-S, a licensed professional counselor, clinical supervisor, and Founder of Spencer Counseling Services. Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, I bring more than 15 years of experience in behavioral health and human services, along with a genuine passion for helping people navigate life's challenges.

I earned my Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy from Guadalupe Baptist Theological Seminary, a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Ashford University.

I work with teens ages 13 and older, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.

I understand that even the strongest people sometimes need a safe place to put down what they've been carrying.

My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I believe healing is possible, growth is personal, and everyone deserves compassionate care without judgment.

At Spencer Counseling Services, we believe meaningful change begins with compassion, connection, and understanding. Our therapeutic approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. We recognize that no two individuals share the same experiences, challenges, or goals, which is why therapy is thoughtfully tailored to each client's needs.

Our clinical approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems perspectives. These approaches help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, process difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and develop practical strategies for navigating life's challenges.

We believe therapy should be more than a place to talk about problems. It should be a space where insight leads to action, personal strengths are rediscovered, and meaningful progress becomes possible.

Our philosophy centers on compassion, accountability, empowerment, and those powerful "light bulb moments" when a new perspective creates an opportunity for change.

We don't believe in telling you how to live your life. Instead, we work alongside you to help you build the confidence, clarity, and tools needed to move forward in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.

Changing lives, one light bulb moment at a time.

Our goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to help you understand yourself well enough to make healthier, more intentional choices—and give you tools that continue working long after the session ends.

Your first session is the beginning of a collaborative journey toward understanding, healing, and meaningful change. At Spencer Counseling Services, we believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship starts with creating an environment where you feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely heard.

During your initial 60-minute appointment, we'll take time to understand what brings you to counseling, explore your current concerns, and learn more about the experiences, relationships, and circumstances that may be affecting your emotional well-being.

We'll discuss your goals, relevant personal history, confidentiality, and what you can expect throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we'll begin identifying your strengths, areas of concern, and practical steps toward positive change.

There is no expectation for you to have all the answers or share your entire story during the first appointment. We encourage open communication, welcome questions, and respect your comfort level as we begin building a foundation of trust.

Our goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, supported, and reassured that you have taken a meaningful step toward prioritizing your well-being.

You bring your story. We bring compassion, clinical expertise, and a commitment to helping you move forward.
