Background and approach

She focuses on practical steps that feel doable, helping clients notice what’s working and what needs to shift. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort and goals. Her background includes licensure in California and Texas as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW.

That experience includes supporting people through major life transitions, caregiving stress, and feelings of isolation. She also has experience addressing work-related burnout and compassion fatigue. Kendall helps people with relationship and communication problems, first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and parenting-related mood challenges like postpartum depression.

She also supports those dealing with panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and seasonal changes in mood. People meet with Kendall by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are scheduled to match each person’s needs and routine.

To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and a session is arranged based on availability.

Approaches and how online sessions help

Two evidence-based techniques Kendall commonly uses are skill-building for mood and anxiety and grief-focused coping strategies. Skill-building focuses on breathing, stress management, and small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Grief-focused work helps people make sense of loss and find ways to remember while returning to daily routines. Kendall also emphasizes practical problem solving and communication coaching. That involves breaking problems into steps, trying small experiments between sessions, and practicing clearer ways to say what you need. This kind of work helps with relationship strain, caregiver stress, and work burnout. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kendall will help identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist check in about how strategies are working and pick alternatives when something doesn’t fit. Online formats offer flexibility that many people need. Video calls let you see facial cues and use screen tools, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coping tips between sessions, or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping continuity of care.
