About Kendra
In sessions she listens first and then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. She draws on practical methods to address anxiety, depression, addictions, and stress. Those strategies are shaped to match what the person needs in the moment.
She also helps people navigate parenting challenges, blended family tensions, and family of origin issues. Concerns such as infidelity, commitment worries, jealousy, or caregiver stress are addressed with direct conversation and skill-building. Attachment issues and grief work are approached with both care and practical steps.
Kendra uses several therapy styles to support change, including acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused methods. She works to reduce shame and guilt while strengthening self-esteem and coping skills. Her approach includes helping clients notice patterns and try new ways of relating.
People looking for help with mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, or compassion fatigue will find structured, compassionate support. Kendra adapts pacing and tools to fit each person’s goals, whether the need is short-term problem solving or longer-term healing.
Combining proven approaches with online flexibility
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action based on personal values instead of getting stuck. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior by trying new responses, which can help with mood disorders, impulsivity, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick questions, reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on the same therapeutic work used in person.
