About Kendra

Kendra Stenack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. She centers clients' strengths and perspectives, helping them name challenges and build practical coping strategies.

Background and approach

Kendra encourages a collaborative, respectful process in which each person’s story guides the pace and focus of work. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, attachment-aware perspectives, and narrative exploration to address symptoms and underlying patterns.

Kendra has worked with concerns ranging from relationship and family difficulties to caregiving stress, bereavement, compassion fatigue, and adjustment after medical or life events. She aims to help clients develop clearer thinking, more effective emotional regulation, and renewed purpose as they navigate change.

Beginning therapy is often a meaningful step, and Kendra frames the work as partnership that honors resilience and practical problem solving. She draws on nearly two decades of experience to adapt interventions to each person’s goals and circumstances, supporting incremental progress and greater day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve mood. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns formed early in life and how those styles influence current relationships and emotional responses; this can be helpful for clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, or reactivity. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a supportive space where the client’s priorities guide the pace of change and personal insight can emerge.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time so the work remains responsive and useful. Together they decide which strategies to try and how to integrate practical skills into daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These formats support ongoing skill practice between sessions and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support even when in-person visits are not possible.
