About Brenda

She listens first, then helps clients notice the strengths they already have. Conversations are practical and aimed at clear steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is warm and direct to make honest conversations easier. Her background includes a mix of therapeutic methods that she blends to match each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral approaches for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their life stories and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to clarify and improve important relationships. Dr. Kemp often works with people navigating big life transitions, career shifts, caregiver stress, and chronic health concerns like cancer or hospice situations.
She also supports clients dealing with attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues. These areas often come up alongside anxiety and depression. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match people with the right appointment time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional responses and patterns in close relationships to improve communication and connection, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Dr. Kemp will talk through goals, preferred ways of working, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together the therapist and client pick methods and adjust them as needed to match the person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for emotional work, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or messaging supports short check-ins and flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiver or work responsibilities, and keep momentum between appointments.
