About Kendra

Kendra Stenack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and issues tied to caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Her style centers on listening and building on strengths the client already has. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to sort through immediate problems. Sessions are practical and focused on what can change day to day.

Kendra draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses mindfulness and narrative methods to help people reframe difficult memories and reduce upsetting thoughts. These approaches are offered to address things like grief, post-traumatic stress, and shifts that come with blended household life.

She has specific experience with adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice related stress, and challenges connected to divorce or separation. She also supports people facing first responder stress, natural disaster recovery, and pregnancy or childbirth related issues.

Kendra sees the process as collaborative. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and test small changes. Her practical focus aims to reduce day-to-day overwhelm and improve communication and coping in blended family situations.

Approaches used in online sessions

Kendra commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This can help when trust, boundaries, or loyalty conflicts show up in new household arrangements.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s own goals and the therapist follows the client’s lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also allow people to meet without being on camera when they prefer less visual contact. Ask about the current session options when you schedule to make sure they match your needs.
