About Kenyada
Kenyada Wagoner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and depression. She also addresses concerns like blended family issues, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and social anxiety.
Kenyada uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing different ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that maintain distress, and mixes in client-centered listening to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities.
Her approach also includes skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense emotion and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing techniques help people clarify what matters to them and take small, achievable steps. Sessions tend to be focused on real-world problems and clear next steps between meetings.
Kenyada helps people talk through past losses, trauma symptoms, guilt and shame, and issues around jealousy or forgiveness. She offers a direct, step-by-step way to address communication breakdowns and relationship concerns while also attending to mood and daily functioning.
People who work with her can expect a practical, goal-oriented process that balances skill-building with open conversation. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to identify priorities and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kenyada uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and practice assignments to try between meetings, which can fit well with remote work because homework is easy to track and review.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening to each person’s priorities and reflecting what matters most to them. That approach keeps sessions grounded in the client’s goals and helps shape practical plans that feel relevant to daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing intense emotions and building steady routines. DBT offers concrete breathing, distress-tolerance, and emotion-regulation tools that can be practiced in short moments during a busy day, making them useful whether sessions are remote or in person.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenyada will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and situations change.
