Kendra Young , LPC

Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing worry, stress, and life changes. She focuses on issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or parenting strains. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon.

She draws on 12 years of experience to build straightforward plans that fit each person's life. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors, teach coping skills, and include short-term goals when that fits. Kendra also addresses trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, and challenges linked to attachment or adoption experiences.

Her work includes tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to reduce symptoms and build routines. She blends that with motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps to keep sessions goal-oriented and action-focused. Clients can expect a mix of skill teaching, problem solving, and emotional processing.

Kendra has helped people manage anger, sleeping problems, career stress, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. She also supports those facing substance use, domestic violence histories, or complex family dynamics. The focus is on practical coping and clearer communication.

Therapy is collaborative: Kendra partners with each person to set priorities and choose approaches that fit their goals. She works from Alabama and conducts sessions in English. People can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Kendra’s Approaches Work Online

Kendra uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small changes that improve mood or behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stressful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kendra will collaborate with each person to set goals and pick methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on progress and what feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
