Howdy y'all! I’m Kendra, your friendly Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience dedicated to helping people navigate life's challenges. Holding a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University, I’ve had the privilege of supporting the vibrant people of Florida. I believe in the power of connection and authenticity in therapy, as they create a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, challenges, and growth. If you are interested in learning more about me, I would love to schedule a consultation call or intake with you to discuss your needs and how I can best assist you moving forward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first time we meet, it will be our opportunity to learn more about each other. It’ll be super chill and friendly—I want you to feel completely at ease sharing what’s on your mind. You’re the one who knows your life best, so I’m here to listen to your story and understand what you’re dealing with. We’ll chat about why you decided to come in and what you’re hoping to achieve. I’ll also fill you in on how this whole therapy thing works, so you know what to expect as we move forward. Building a good connection is really important to me, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions or bring up any concerns you might have. Together, we can start looking at some practical strategies to help you manage stress and boost your confidence. My main goal is to support you in the way that feels best for you, so you can walk away from our session feeling heard and hopeful. Can’t wait to catch up!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve your emotional well-being and personal growth. This approach is different from traditional therapies, which often focus on exploring feelings. Instead, CBT focuses on practical problem-solving. In CBT, you and your therapist work together to set goals and pick techniques that suit your needs. You participate in activities that challenge unhelpful beliefs and help you develop better ways to cope. This process encourages self-discovery and effective problem-solving. By promoting self-awareness and positive thinking, CBT gives you tools to face challenges with greater confidence and resilience. This leads to lasting personal change.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy (PCT) is a therapeutic approach focused on emotional healing and personal growth, emphasizing your capacity to discover and develop yourself. Unlike traditional therapies that concentrate on problem-solving, PCT fosters a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, allowing you to explore your feelings and experiences freely. This process aids in self-discovery and cultivates a positive self-image. The relationship with your therapist is central to PCT. They provide unconditional support and empathy, creating a safe space for self-expression. This relationship empowers you to take control of your therapeutic journey, determining the pace and direction of your sessions. By reflecting on your thoughts and feelings, you gain insights and find your solutions, making the therapy process more personal and relevant. Moreover, PCT encourages self-acceptance and kindness, enabling you to embrace all aspects of yourself, including your strengths and weaknesses. This holistic perspective fosters resilience, equipping you to tackle life’s challenges with confidence and renewed purpose.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused therapy (SFT) is a helpful approach that can improve emotional well-being and support personal growth. Instead of focusing on problems, SFT encourages you to look for solutions. This shift in perspective can lead to a more positive outlook on life. By recognizing your past achievements and strengths, you see that you can change and create a better future for yourself. A key part of SFT is setting goals. You work with a therapist to establish clear and attainable goals, which helps you feel more focused and purposeful. This forward-thinking approach can help lessen feelings of anxiety and helplessness. SFT also encourages you to identify the resources and support systems you already have. By considering what has worked well for you in the past, you can devise effective strategies to tackle current challenges. This approach promotes resilience and adaptability when facing difficulties in life.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) offers numerous positive benefits that can significantly enhance emotional well-being and personal development. REBT helps people become more aware of their emotions and understand them better. It teaches you to tell the difference between helpful (rational) beliefs and unhelpful (irrational) ones. This method empowers you to make positive changes in your life, giving you more control over your mental health. By challenging negative thoughts, REBT can help reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. It also helps improve your problem-solving skills and how you interact with others. The therapy encourages you to take responsibility for your emotions and actions, promoting self-reflection and better emotional control. REBT provides practical strategies for managing your emotions and building resilience. It can help deal with anger, fears, and low self-esteem. Overall, it supports personal growth, helping you become more emotionally mature and better at understanding yourself.
