Kendra Young

Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She listens with respect and aims to make therapy a place where people can speak plainly about hard things. Kendra names concerns like trauma, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and bipolar challenges among the issues she supports. Kendra uses straightforward, interactive sessions. She combines techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients build coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps - trying new ways of thinking, practicing emotion regulation, and using brief exercises between meetings. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to help people set clear goals and find the next right step. That approach can be helpful for things like making a big life change, addressing substance use, or improving communication. Kendra tailors the pace and focus to each person's needs. Kendra has more than 12 years of experience in counseling and coaching. Her style is described as warm and interactive, and she emphasizes empathy and respect in every conversation. She encourages people to notice small shifts and build on them. People who want straightforward, goal-oriented support for stress, trauma, or relationship and parenting challenges may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients can review how her methods match their goals and decide if a practical, skills-based path feels right for them.

Approaches that translate well to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep people stuck.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete emotion regulation tools and distress-tolerance skills. It can help when strong emotions, anger, or relationship conflict get in the way of daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy invites simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment, which supports stress reduction and better sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kendra works collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when that suits a schedule. Many people find virtual work helps them apply skills between meetings and keep momentum toward their goals.
