How Kendall uses structured approaches in remote sessions
Many clients work on specific problems using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative responses through small experiments and homework. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools for managing intense feelings and improving coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendall collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He adjusts goals and exercises based on what is useful and what a client prefers, discussing options and trying them out together.
The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or to avoid being on camera. Kendall aims to pick session arrangements that match a client's routine and the practical demands of their life.
