Meet Kanika
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5
Hi, I’m Kanika Inglett, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, working with children, teens, adults, and couples.
My work is grounded in an attachment-based perspective, with the understanding that our earliest relationships often shape how we experience safety, connection, and self-worth throughout life. In therapy, I help clients explore these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and care—creating space for meaningful insight, healing, and change. I believe one of the most courageous things we can do is allow ourselves to truly know who we are.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation call to answer questions and help determine whether we are a good fit before beginning therapy. Finding the right therapeutic connection matters, and I want you to feel comfortable in that process.
More About Kanika Inglett, M.A., LMHC, EMDR Therapist
Originally from India, I came to the United States nearly 30 years ago to pursue higher education. I began my professional journey in science and academia, earning a PhD in Environmental Microbiology and spending over two decades teaching, mentoring, and conducting research.
While I valued this work, I found myself continually drawn to the emotional and personal stories behind the people I worked with—many of whom were navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relational struggles, and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. Over time, I came to see how deeply emotional wounds can shape identity, relationships, and a sense of purpose.
That realization led me to a new calling in counseling. I returned to graduate school to earn a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and transitioned into my second career as a therapist.
My Christian faith is an important part of my life and serves as a steady source of strength, hope, and grounding. I believe each person is created with inherent worth and purpose, and I am continually humbled by the resilience and courage I witness in the individuals I work with.
Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, camping, traveling, and making fun memories with my husband and son. I find meaning in simple moments—quiet conversations, time outdoors, and reflecting on God’s faithfulness in everyday life.
It is a privilege to be invited into people’s stories, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in yours.
My Approach
I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, grounded, and deeply human.
My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, built on the belief that healing happens within a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I work alongside clients to clarify goals, deepen insight, and support meaningful emotional and relational change.
I integrate evidence-based modalities tailored to each person’s needs, including:
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples
For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian faith integration. This may include exploring spiritual beliefs as part of identity and healing, incorporating prayer when appropriate, reflecting on Scripture in relation to emotional growth and forgiveness, or addressing spiritual struggles alongside emotional challenges. Faith integration is always guided by your comfort and preferences.
What You Can Expect
Therapy is not about having all the answers—it is about having a safe place to discover them.
In our work together, you can expect a space that is steady, respectful, and free of judgment. A space where you are not rushed, fixed, or defined by your struggles—but met as a whole person.
Together, we will work toward greater clarity, emotional healing, stronger coping skills, and healthier relationships—with yourself and others.
