About Kenya
Kenya Amos is an LPC, LMHC practicing in Oregon with nine years of direct counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
She typically uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a starting point. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on what a person needs. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways to respond to them.
Her background includes work across a range of concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin issues, and infidelity. She also helps with guilt, shame, isolation, jealousy, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she listens closely and helps people set clear goals. Conversations aim to identify patterns, test small changes, and track what works. She encourages clients to define success in their own terms and to take practical steps toward those goals.
Clients can expect straightforward, structured sessions that combine thought-focused strategies with skills practice and problem-solving. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Kenya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and test small, practical changes. CBT sessions often focus on concrete exercises and homework that fit into daily life.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed. DBT skills training teaches straightforward tools for managing intense feelings and improving moment-to-moment coping.
Solution-Focused Therapy appears in shorter-term work, emphasizing clear goals and steps that produce measurable change. That approach can be useful for specific problems like communication issues or decision points.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend using one or a mix of methods. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
