About Kendra
Kendra Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience helping adults navigate parenting stress and related life challenges. She aims to create a calm, practical space where parents can sort through worries, learn new strategies, and make small changes that matter. Kendra speaks English and practices from Alabama.
Kendra uses straightforward methods to address anxiety, depression, and parenting strain. She often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people spot patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, such as stress management, sleep routines, and clearer communication. Many parents come to Kendra for help with relationship strain, blended family issues, addiction concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people working through attachment questions, adoption and foster care stress, and body image or self-esteem struggles.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented while staying respectful and empathetic. Her style is interactive rather than lecture-based. Expect a mix of conversation, skill practice, and feedback.
Kendra tailors each plan to the person she meets, adjusting tools and homework to what actually fits daily life. Kendra frames setbacks as part of learning. She helps clients set clear, manageable steps toward better routines, healthier boundaries, and improved communication.
The work aims to be doable for busy parents balancing multiple demands.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Kendra frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as part of her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep troubles, and daily parenting challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find personal reasons to change habits like substance use or sleep routines. These approaches are offered collaboratively - Kendra will discuss your goals, try a few methods, and adapt the plan to what fits your life and values. Online sessions can be easier to fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and simpler to join, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it possible to work on coping skills, communication, and parenting strategies without rearranging an entire day.Questions people ask about Kendra
