Monna Kendrick, LPCC

Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and struggles with self-esteem. She draws on 15 years of experience to offer steady, practical support for day-to-day problems and bigger life changes. Her approach is straightforward and personal, aimed at helping clients feel understood and able to move forward.

Before moving into outpatient work, she spent much of her career in inpatient settings, including acute and residential care. That background gave her experience with a wide range of concerns, from panic and mood disorders to addiction and trauma. She has worked with people from many backgrounds and life situations.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, acceptance-based ideas, and mindfulness with a client-centered stance. That means she listens first, then helps people learn tools to manage symptoms, change unhelpful thoughts, and respond differently to difficult feelings. She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when those get in the way.

Monna also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and end-of-life concerns. She addresses communication problems, isolation, and challenges common to young adults and women. Her goal is to teach skills that work in daily life.

Clients meet with her from Kentucky and work by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. She asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions to fit each person’s needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change patterns that lead to stress or panic.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take committed action toward what matters. It is useful for chronic worry, grief, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses; this can help when communication or trust issues cause ongoing conflict.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to a person's goals and preferences, explains options, and together they try techniques that fit the person's life. Adjustments are made over time based on what is working.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can support quick reflections or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue work when travel or relocation occurs.
