About Kendra
Kendra Young is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Alabama with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, substance use concerns, trauma and other life changes.
Kendra offers direct, practical conversation aimed at changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses clear strategies clients can try between sessions. Sessions focus on what is interfering with daily life and what concrete steps might reduce that burden.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when they fit the situation. These methods are applied in straightforward ways - identifying thoughts that increase distress, testing alternative responses, and building small skills for handling strong emotions.
Kendra has helped people who have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as those coping with grief, bipolar disorder, and addiction. She pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment issues, and challenges such as codependency, communication problems, and blended family concerns.
Sessions tend to be interactive and practical. Expect short skill-building exercises, thought records, and goal-oriented planning. The work is aimed at producing usable changes people can practice in everyday life.
To begin, people typically complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so Kendra can learn what matters most and outline next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Online sessions use methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in accessible ways. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that increase distress, then practicing specific changes and experiments. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Kendra will collaborate with the client to decide which strategies fit their goals and daily life. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans based on feedback rather than committing to one method up front.
The practical upside of online sessions is that they can fit more easily into busy schedules and routines. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, work on skills between responsibilities, or avoid travel time. The therapist and client will agree on a plan that fits the person’s day-to-day life and goals.
