About Kendra
Dr. Kendra Stuke is a licensed social worker in Kansas with 26 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting strain, and codependency. Her background includes work with children, youth, teens, and young adults, as well as adults moving through big life changes.
Dr. Stuke centers sessions on the client's own story and strengths. She uses play-based work with younger clients and practical strategies with adults. She emphasizes clear goals, step-by-step change, and steady emotional support during hard moments.
Her practice draws on several therapy approaches. Attachment-based ideas guide how she thinks about relationships and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Client-centered work keeps the client's perspective and choices at the forefront.
When trauma is part of the picture, Dr. Stuke brings focused, trauma-informed care and gentle pacing. For children, registered play therapy methods help them communicate feelings they may not have words for. For adults, mindfulness and narrative techniques support processing and meaning-making.
She describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client is the expert on their life. Her style is practical and grounded, aimed at helping people manage symptoms and make concrete changes. Those interested should review session options and scheduling details before booking.
How attachment and CBT shape online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness, and conflict so they can try new ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's perspective and choices. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people build their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust as progress unfolds.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel barriers, which can help fit sessions into busy days. Some formats use less data or are shorter for quick check-ins.
