Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded. Kendall aims to help clients notice patterns, name what matters, and try manageable steps that fit their life. Kendall draws on several approaches to therapy.
He uses client-centered methods to make space for each person’s story. He borrows tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that fuel distress. He also weaves in elements of dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic ideas when they help make sense of long-standing patterns.
Many clients come for help after loss, trauma, or because their relationships or sense of self feel strained. Kendall also works with people facing caregiving and end-of-life stress, multicultural concerns, and non-monogamous relationship issues. He frames these topics with compassion and straightforward support.
Sessions move at a pace set by the client. Kendall emphasizes strengths, small experiments, and clearer choices. He aims to be a steady companion on a sometimes hard journey toward clearer values and better day-to-day coping.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It creates space to tell your story, be heard, and follow the pace you need. This approach is useful when someone wants acceptance and help sorting out what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or lift mood. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and depression.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises. It can be helpful when emotions feel intense or when someone wants clearer tools for day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kendall will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust which strategies are most helpful as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a conversation needs to fit a short break. Live chat and text messaging can serve for quick check-ins, follow-up between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent progress.
