Kendra Young, LPC

Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

She brings 12 years of counseling experience from work in Alabama. That background includes supporting people facing depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, and relationship or parenting strains.

In sessions she uses clear, goal-focused conversation. Kendra incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help change unhelpful thoughts and reduce reactivity. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and strengthen motivation for change.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens with respect and tailors plans to each person’s needs. Expect practical tools you can try between visits, and regular check-ins on what is and isn’t working.

People come to her for work on sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, life changes, and communication problems. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family tension, substance use, and other challenges that affect daily functioning.

Approaches that guide online counseling

Kendra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better emotional regulation.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and bodily signals without judgment. These practices can help reduce reactivity and make it easier to try new coping strategies in daily life. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client review needs and goals together and adjust methods as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote work makes it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, try brief check-ins when time is limited, or use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. The therapist will help structure sessions to match your schedule and the practical realities of your life.
