Kennedy Fowle , LCSW, LICSW

Kennedy Fowle is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related concentration challenges. She works with youth and young adults and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She keeps sessions direct and practical. Kennedy encourages clients to name what feels most urgent and then sets small, achievable goals together. Conversations focus on skills people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs. She uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support clearer goals and steady progress.

Kennedy creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for talking about difficult experiences like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness, guilt, and isolation. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and disruptive mood symptoms when they come up.

She holds licenses in Oregon and Washington - LCSW and LICSW - and has three years of professional experience. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to fit a person's life and needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Kennedy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against daily experience. CBT focuses on breaking cycles of negative thinking and building practical habits that reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT tools are helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or who struggle with impulsivity and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kennedy works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and life situation. She reviews progress and adjusts methods over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep a more conversational session similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and fit into a short break during the day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and tracking small steps between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still using CBT and DBT techniques in everyday life.
