Kendra Young

Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship strains. She is direct and approachable, and she aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk plainly about what is hard right now. Kendra makes room for big feelings and practical problem solving in the same session.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness to keep work focused and useful. Sessions often mix skills practice, goal-focused conversation, and gentle reflection on past hurts. Kendra adapts the pace and techniques to match each person's needs and circumstances.

Her background includes a dozen years of work in counseling and life coaching with people who have faced trauma, domestic violence, substance use concerns, grief, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. That experience shapes how she supports coping, safety planning, and getting unstuck during transitions.

In sessions she emphasizes clear steps clients can try between appointments. She also attends to attachment, family patterns, and issues like body image or codependency when those come up. Kendra aims to help people build skills for managing emotion, improving communication, and making choices that fit their values.

People who want practical strategies alongside empathetic listening may find her style a good match. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site's start process and complete the short questionnaire to match with her.

How her approaches shape online work

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments you can do between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then suggest techniques to try. That plan can change over time as needs shift or certain skills prove more helpful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific online or remote options are not listed in the profile. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-in conversations when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Licensed professionals can use skills-based exercises, homework, and guided mindfulness practices in remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
