About Kendra

Kendra Stenack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, and depression.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to help clients explore their strengths, process difficult experiences, and develop practical coping strategies. Kendra emphasizes the client's own knowledge about their life while offering professional guidance to find relief and resilience.

Clients working with Kendra may encounter therapy that blends insight-oriented and skills-based work, including attention to attachment dynamics, mindful self-awareness, and structured cognitive techniques. She frames the therapeutic relationship as collaborative and respectful of each person’s story, noting that taking the first step toward support often requires courage.

Kendra seeks to create a space where people can navigate loss, relationship challenges, caregiving stress, and other transitions with increased clarity and self-compassion.

Approaches for online healing and practical support

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a model that helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves - for example, protective parts that show up in stress and vulnerable parts that hold pain - and it can be useful for working with trauma, grief, and persistent anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early and current attachment experiences shape emotional responses; this approach can help with relationship struggles, caregiving stress, and rebuilding trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients often blend approaches over time so that insight, emotional processing, and practical skills all inform progress.

Online therapy with Kendra uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy life phases, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them while collaborating with a licensed professional.
