About Kendra

Kendra Stenack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Kendra also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues related to hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her sessions treat each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and builds on them. People can expect practical tools as well as time to tell their story and make sense of difficult feelings.

Kendra uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns. Narrative and mindfulness approaches also shape her work when people want to rewrite their life story or learn steadying practices.

Her background includes a master of science in Clinical and Counseling Psychology and a bachelor of science in Psychology. She holds the LPC credential in Pennsylvania and has additional training related to grief, trauma, and end-of-life issues.

Kendra aims for a straightforward, compassionate style. She helps people set small goals, try new ways of coping, and notice progress. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she encourages a gentle pace that respects each person’s timing.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Kendra often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety and depression. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations, which can help with relationship stress and grief.

She also uses client-centered and narrative ideas, which focus on listening and helping people make meaning of their experiences. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then suggest ways of working together and adjust as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It also lets people use tools like mindfulness exercises and thought-records between meetings. If someone prefers a particular style or pacing, that can be arranged during early sessions so therapy fits practical needs and therapeutic goals.
