About Kendra

Kendra Theroith is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience practicing in California. She takes a down-to-earth approach and aims to meet people where they are. Kendra focuses on helping with common life stresses and emotional struggles so people can feel more capable day to day.

Her work addresses stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, motivation, and coping with life changes. She also supports people navigating LGBTQ concerns, intimacy-related struggles, relationship stress, parenting challenges, career questions, and ADHD-related difficulties.

Background and approach

Kendra tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Kendra emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She prefers straightforward talk and practical steps that fit into busy lives.

Small, steady changes and clearer routines are common topics in her work. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals and next steps are agreed on together. Kendra helps clarify priorities and breaks larger problems into manageable pieces.

She offers guidance and reflective listening to help people try new ways of coping. Her clinical experience also includes work with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and coaching-style support. Throughout, she adapts the pace and focus to each person's needs and goals.

Practical therapy approaches and online care

Kendra uses evidence-based techniques that focus on everyday problems and clear coping skills. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as pacing tasks, building routines, and using simple breathing or distraction tools. These methods help when worry or overwhelm get in the way of daily life.

She also uses problem-focused conversation to break larger issues into manageable steps. This approach helps with motivation, depression, decision-making, and ADHD-related task planning by creating small, achievable goals and tracking progress together.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your needs, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor the style and pace accordingly. You and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to adjust them.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
