Kendra Young, LPC

Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. She also helps those dealing with parenting stress, career transitions, and questions about intimacy and self‑esteem.

Kendra uses clear, goal‑focused conversations to help people find practical ways forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and build steadier routines.

Sessions are collaborative. Kendra listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. She offers coaching-style guidance when clients want hands-on tools for daily life. Progress is tracked in bite-sized steps so change feels doable.

Her background includes many years supporting people through trauma, domestic violence, substance concerns, and mood disorders. That experience informs how she holds stressful topics and safety planning when needed. Kendra keeps language plain and practical so overwhelmed parents can follow along on a phone.

Therapy with her blends skill practice, short-term problem solving, and deeper work on patterns that repeat. She adapts each plan to a person's needs and moves at a pace that feels manageable. The focus is on steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Therapy approaches and online options that fit your life

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and trouble with daily routines. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills for people who experience strong emotions or relationship conflicts. Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down, notice thoughts without judgment, and use simple breathing or awareness practices to reduce stress and improve attention.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kendra will talk with each person about their goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels doable. Together they pick methods and pace that match needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
