01About Roger
Roger Kennedy is a licensed professional counselor with five years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, or big life changes. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel doable for worried parents and busy people.
Roger draws on his background as a former first responder to understand high-pressure experiences and strong emotional reactions. He listens for what matters most to each person and looks for strengths that can be used in everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions center on practical skills and steady support rather than quick fixes. In therapy he helps people name painful feelings and build small, manageable routines to reduce panic, racing thoughts, or low mood. He also helps people process loss, work through shame or guilt, and make decisions about life purpose and change.
Roger pays attention to how past events show up in daily life and relationships. His approach aims to give tools for coping with chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and lingering effects of assault or traumatic brain injury. He helps people practice self-compassion and rebuild confidence after hard experiences.
Progress is paced to each person’s needs. Roger offers sessions in English from Oregon. He uses straightforward language, calm guidance, and respect for each person’s story.
He focuses on small, clear steps people can use between sessions to feel more grounded and able to face challenges.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Roger uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical coping and processing. One common approach emphasizes developing coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breath work, grounding steps, and short behavioral practices to reduce overwhelm. This helps when panic attacks, racing thoughts, or social anxiety make daily tasks harder.Another approach focuses on trauma-informed processing to help people work through painful events and their aftereffects. This involves gradual, paced work to identify triggers, reduce avoidance, and build a sense of safety in everyday routines. It can also support recovery after assault, abuse, or brain injury.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
