About Kendra
Kendra Theroith is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Kendra also lists support for LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, career questions, bipolar, ADHD, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and coaching-related goals.
Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. She says she adapts how she works to each person’s needs and preferences. That includes shaping the topics and pacing of sessions to what feels useful in day-to-day life.
Kendra emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions. She aims to help people notice patterns that make problems worse and try different ways of responding. Conversations often include skills to manage strong emotions and strategies to reduce stress that show up at home or work.
When grief or loss is present, she works through the immediate challenges and the practical adjustments that follow. For people feeling stuck about career or motivation, sessions look at realistic next steps and decision-making. For relationship or intimacy concerns, the focus is on communication and understanding how behavior affects connection.
Her practice also addresses issues tied to trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. People are encouraged to set goals and test small changes between sessions. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based techniques are used in practical ways during sessions. Cognitive-style work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. This approach can reduce recurring worry, self-criticism, and patterns that feed anger.Behavioral strategies are also used to change what someone does when stress or anger rises. That might include brief skills practice, breathing or grounding routines, scheduling small experiments, and planning safer ways to respond when tensions flare. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related concerns.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will help the client identify their goals and suggest approaches to try. Progress is reviewed together and methods are adjusted based on what helps in daily life.
