About Fennisha
Fennisha Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people in Alaska navigate difficult times. She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about relationships, mood, stress, and self esteem. Many people come to her when life feels stuck or when family and relationship problems become overwhelming.
Her work often centers on practical skills and clear steps. She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense emotions, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals. Sessions aim to teach tools people can use between meetings to handle anger, anxiety, or grief.
Fennisha has a background supporting families and youth at risk, and brings that experience into conversations about blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and parenting strains. She also addresses issues such as addiction, intimacy concerns, and the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. The focus is on real-life changes, not labels.
She invites people to take gradual steps toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and increased self worth. Her style is practical and straightforward, with attention to what each person needs right now.
