01About Kenlo
Kenlo McGowan is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or relationship problems are getting in the way of daily life. Kenlo aims for straightforward help so clients can meet their goals and feel more capable in day-to-day situations.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered work and evidence-based techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness tools are used to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Kenlo often takes a solution-focused stance early in work together to remove immediate barriers. That gives room to address longer standing patterns such as codependency, family-of-origin issues, or recurring grief.
She also applies motivational interviewing when people want help changing behaviors tied to addiction or health routines. Her background includes supporting people through career stress, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout from traumatic events. She has experience addressing eating, sleeping, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and the strain of major life transitions.
Sessions are meant to feel accepting and nonjudgmental. Kenlo helps people set clear, realistic goals and uses practical techniques they can try between sessions. She works in English and practices from Pennsylvania as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening, understanding, and building goals together. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through concerns and shape goals without geographic limits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to notice thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. In video or text sessions, those tools can be practiced in real time and assigned as brief exercises between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense feelings and relationship strain. These skills fit well into shorter check-ins, phone coaching, or messaging when someone needs quick support during a stressful moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean starting with solution-focused steps and adding CBT, DBT, or motivational techniques as needed.
Online formats give flexibility. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and skill teaching, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging can keep momentum between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while trying different ways of working to see what helps most.
