About Kendee
Kendee believes the brain can support healing when given the right tools. She emphasizes addressing underlying beliefs and responses that keep problems locked in place. That can mean noticing patterns around body image, codependency, communication, or substance and process addictions and working through how they started and continue.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that pays attention to both immediate symptoms and deeper causes. Sessions balance practical strategies with time to process difficult emotions and memories. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
She brings eight years of clinical experience to her work and holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential. Kendee practices in Utah and offers services in English.
People who want to address relationship pain, family-of-origin concerns, or challenges like guilt, shame, isolation, and life purpose may find her approach relevant. If you want to explore recovery from drug, alcohol, or behavioral addictions, she includes those areas in her focus. To begin, follow the platform steps to match with her and schedule a session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based techniques often used for trauma and addiction help people build safety, regulate strong emotions, and change unhelpful patterns. One common method focuses on identifying and shifting limiting beliefs and habitual reactions so daily choices feel less driven by old wounds. This approach helps with issues like body image, codependency, and family-of-origin patterns.Another helpful approach centers on teaching concrete coping skills such as grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. These skills reduce immediate overwhelm and make it easier to face deeper memories or triggers. They are useful for anxiety, stress, and relapse prevention in substance or process addictions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback about what works and what does not so care can be tailored over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and remove travel time. It can also let people access regular support while balancing appointments, family obligations, or treatment schedules.
