About Kendra
Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing common life stresses. She greets clients with a calm, interactive style and focuses on clear steps you can take to feel steadier. Her tone is respectful and encouraging for those who are ready to make changes.
Kendra draws on 12 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and stress related to work or relationships. She has supported people coping with substance use, grief, past trauma, and domestic violence. Adoption and foster care appears among her areas of focus, alongside attachment and abandonment issues.
In sessions she uses talk-based tools to help you notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build everyday skills. She combines problem solving with gentle coaching so clients can set achievable goals and track progress. Sessions tend to be practical and action-focused rather than abstract.
Kendra adjusts plans to fit what each person needs. That might mean short-term work on a specific problem, or ongoing support for mood and relationship patterns. She pays attention to communication and boundaries, and helps people practice different ways of relating.
Her approach aims to help people feel more able to manage daily demands, repair strained relationships, and make clearer choices about career and parenting. If someone wants straightforward guidance, concrete tools, and a collaborative working style, Kendra frames therapy as a shared process toward those aims.
How Kendra’s approaches shape online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to work or relationships.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are repeatedly strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendra will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real life needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Specific session formats were not listed in the original profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote therapy can make attending sessions easier around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills work to conversation-based sessions so people build practical tools that fit into everyday routines.
