Online approaches that focus on skills and goals
Many of Kendall's techniques center on clear, evidence-based methods that teach practical skills. One approach emphasizes symptom management and behavior change by identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new, small behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood. This helps with panic, sleep problems, and low motivation.A second approach focuses on coping with loss and emotional pain by creating space to process grief while building routines that support daily functioning. This can ease the intense feelings following bereavement or major life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kendall collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She reviews progress and adjusts strategies so the plan stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins possible between sessions or when written reflection feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what works best.
