About Kendra
Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people improve sleep and manage everyday stress. She frames sessions so concerns about anxiety, depression, parenting, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and sleeping difficulties can be addressed in clear, practical steps. Her tone is warm and direct to help worried parents feel heard quickly.
Kendra uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused tools. She brings twelve years of counseling experience to each session and adapts techniques to fit a person's life. Expect short-term skill building as well as deeper work when it feels necessary.
Her approach combines cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Those tools are used to reduce sleeplessness, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful thought patterns that keep problems going.
Kendra emphasizes collaboration. She tailors plans to each person and checks in often about what's working. Sessions include practical exercises, simple behavioral changes, and clear steps to practice between meetings.
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult events like trauma, abuse, or loss without feeling overwhelmed. Kendra also helps with issues tied to family roles, adoption and foster care, boundary setting, and substance concerns. Her focus is on helping clients find routines and skills that support better sleep and more manageable days.
How Kendra’s approaches translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep sleep and anxiety problems going. It uses practical exercises and simple habit changes to improve daily routines and reduce late-night worry.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship conflict. Mindfulness therapy adds short attention practices to calm the mind and improve falling and staying asleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their life. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around school, work, or parenting by avoiding travel time and by allowing appointments from different locations. Some formats also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that works better for someone. Ask about session length and scheduling to find a setup that fits daily routines.
