About Kendra
Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience based in Alabama. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, relationship problems, grief, and related life strains. People contact her for help managing strong emotions, navigating parenting and family problems, and coping with career or identity shifts.
Kendra takes a straightforward, interactive approach to counseling. She uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on practical skills for handling upsetting thoughts, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.
In the room she listens for the patterns that drive a person’s reactions. Then she helps people name those patterns and try new responses. That can look like thought records, behavioral experiments, grounding practices, or setting short-term goals to see what changes.
She has worked with people affected by trauma, sexual or physical abuse, domestic violence, substance misuse, bipolar disorder, and parenting stress. Kendra also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and blended family issues when these feed into anger or relationship strain.
Her style is direct and interactive. Sessions include skill teaching, coaching moments, and collaborative goal-setting. People who want clear tools and step-by-step problem solving often find this approach useful.
Approaches used and how online sessions can help
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. It is often used when worry, self-criticism, or negative thinking patterns make anger and stress worse.DBT emphasizes specific skill sets such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can reduce impulsive reactions, manage intense feelings, and improve communication in tense situations.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Kendra works with clients to choose which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means trying skills, checking what works, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate discussion.
