About Kendra

Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She meets clients where they are and emphasizes a respectful, empathetic, and collaborative relationship while tailoring interventions to each person’s circumstances. Her practice blends evidence-informed techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies.

Kendra adapts these methods to address concerns such as parenting and blended family issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, substance use, intimacy and communication problems, and self-esteem or body image struggles. She frames growth as a process that requires both courage and practical skills, offering structured tools alongside supportive coaching.

Based in Alabama, Kendra encourages clients who are ready to make changes to take the first step toward clearer goals and healthier patterns. Her approach aims to help clients build coping skills, improve relationships, and move toward greater stability and purpose.

Practical Approaches for Online Growth and Skills Building

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools that are useful for intense mood swings, relationship stress, and coping with strong emotions. Mindfulness practices are also incorporated to help ground attention, reduce reactivity, and increase awareness of present-moment experience.

Kendra treats the selection of methods as a collaborative task rather than a fixed prescription. She works with each client to explore which combination of CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or motivational and solution-focused techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with Kendra is designed for flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on goals into busy schedules, to check in between sessions, and to practice new skills in daily life. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and communication modes to support steady progress while accommodating lifestyle and logistical constraints.
