How Kendra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and seen while they talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve sleep. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kendra will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they set clear, realistic goals and try small changes to see what helps most, adjusting the plan as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short, flexible exchanges for coping strategies or brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping work focused on practical tools and steady progress.
