About Kendra
Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on practical help for everyday problems. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, and codependency. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to make conversations straightforward and useful.
Kendra describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals. Sessions often include skills people can try between meetings, such as coping techniques or communication strategies. The work is paced to fit each person's life and needs.
She has 12 years of experience in counseling and life coaching. Over that time she has supported people facing trauma, domestic violence, bipolar disorder, parenting challenges, and career transitions. That background shapes a practical focus on what's happening now and what can change next.
Kendra uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions, and motivational interviewing to help with change. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are also used when they fit the client's goals.
People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation, clear steps to try between sessions, and a focus on building skills to cope with life changes. She invites anyone ready to take a step toward feeling better to begin the process.
Approaches that guide online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by focusing on practical exercises and clear steps to try between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with emotional overwhelm, anger, or relationship reactivity by teaching concrete coping and regulation tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Then she will recommend approaches to try and adjust them as needed in collaboration with the client.
