Kenyada Wagoner

Kenyada Wagoner is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps families and individuals can use to feel steadier day to day. Kenyada aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and find a clearer way forward.

She tailors work to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. That can mean helping someone notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, building skills to tolerate strong emotions, or using mindful awareness to reduce reactivity. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the person in therapy.

Kenyada has six years of clinical experience in California and brings a practical, goal-focused style. She draws on evidence-informed tools while staying open to each person’s background and values. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and realistic steps that fit everyday life.

Common concerns she addresses include parenting stress, blended family issues, body image and self-love, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, jealousy, and life purpose. She also works with post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and relationship conflict.

Kenyada blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to create a personalized plan. That mix helps people move from feeling stuck to practicing small changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy invites the person to guide the pace and focus of sessions, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening to help clarify goals. This approach supports people who need a steady, person-led space to work through relationship or mood concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and intrusive thoughts because it teaches concrete skills to shift patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help people manage intense feelings, improve relationships, and navigate parenting stress or separation issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made, and decisions are made together rather than prescribed up front.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use therapy from a comfortable setting. Discuss practical scheduling needs during the initial match to find an arrangement that fits everyday life.
