About Kendra
Kendra Wright-Baker is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, and relationship strain. She brings 26 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate style. Kendra is licensed in Michigan as a licensed clinical social worker and also holds a Michigan LMSW credential.
Her approach centers on building a plan that fits each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping tools, and changes that can be used day to day.
Background and approach
She adapts the conversation to what feels most helpful for the person in the room. Kendra has worked with a wide range of life challenges, including chronic pain and illness, cancer-related strain, caregiver stress, grief, and isolation. She also supports people managing blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems.
Addiction and substance use, codependency, and domestic violence concerns are also within her scope of practice. Kendra pays attention to how guilt, shame, forgiveness, and midlife transitions affect mood and relationships. Her manner is respectful and down-to-earth.
She aims to empower people to take small, manageable steps toward better balance and wellbeing. Kendra tailors each plan and adjusts as needs change over time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many clinicians use techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach teaches coping strategies and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms; it helps people notice patterns and try new responses. Another approach addresses substance use and addictive behaviors by looking at triggers, building relapse prevention plans, and strengthening daily routines to support recovery. These methods are aimed at everyday improvements rather than labels or complex theory.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera is not wanted. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or quick problem-solving between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, limited travel, or shorter check-ins during a workday.
