About Kendra
Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. She works with individuals struggling with relationships, addiction, grief, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps rather than long lectures.
She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help clients feel more in control of day-to-day life. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building new coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She combines structured techniques with a compassionate, listening approach. Kendra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with strong emotions and mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for supporting change when someone feels stuck. Clients can expect a collaborative plan that fits their life and goals. Kendra frames work as coaching and counseling together, helping people set and reach manageable steps.
She pays attention to family dynamics, attachment concerns, and issues tied to adoption or foster care when those come up. With 12 years of experience, she offers straightforward support without judgment. Conversations are practical, and progress is tracked with small, measurable goals.
The focus is on improving daily functioning, relationships, and resilience.
How therapy approaches are used online
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative behaviors and skills to reduce anxiety, low mood, or ADHD-related challenges. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, with online sessions teaching concrete techniques like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness that clients can practice between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. Together they will adjust techniques over time based on progress and what fits the client's life and needs.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a microphone-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when someone wants help without scheduling a longer session. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep consistent contact between meetings.
