She brings both counseling and coaching perspectives to help people move forward. In sessions Kendra draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused tools. She adapts these methods to fit the situation so people learn coping strategies that actually fit their day-to-day life.
The therapist also uses motivational interviewing to help with change when motivation feels low. Kendra works from Alabama and communicates in English. She aims to create a respectful space where people can name what they want to change and take steady steps toward it.

04Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing more useful ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches clear skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when anger, emotional overwhelm, or relationship conflicts are common.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try different tools and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy days and make it easier to share brief updates or practice skills between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
