Practical therapy approaches and online sessions
Kendra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxious or depressive cycles. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what fits each person's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep using and which to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversational work, phone can be simpler when video is difficult, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and to continue progress from wherever the client is located within the United States.
