About Kenya

Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Oregon who draws on nine years of clinical experience to support people facing a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She favors evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy while also using solution-focused and client-centered strategies to tailor care to each person's needs. Kenya emphasizes collaborative work, helping clients identify goals and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other concerns.

Her approach centers on active listening and helping clients develop self-awareness and personal direction. Rather than imposing a single framework, she blends therapeutic tools to fit individual values and definitions of success, guiding clients toward clearer insight and actionable steps.

Kenya’s background includes work with issues across relationships, grief, parenting, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and family-related challenges, and she approaches each case with a nonjudgmental, supportive stance. Clients can expect a counselor who values their expertise about their own life and who focuses on building coping strategies, improving communication, and fostering resilience.

Kenya invites people seeking change to begin a collaborative process of growth and problem solving when they are ready to take the next step.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Kenya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions, adapting each approach to clients' concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating, offering practical strategies to alter habits and manage ADHD-related challenges. DBT emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for clients coping with intense emotions, relationship tensions, or recurring patterns of reactivity.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Kenya blends client-centered listening with targeted techniques so the plan evolves from ongoing conversations about what helps most and what feels sustainable.

Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to fit sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to use different communication styles for skill practice and check-ins. The range of options supports continuity of care and makes it easier to maintain momentum toward personal goals.
