About Kendra

Dr. Kendra Stuke is a KS LSCSW with 26 years of professional experience. She practices in Kansas and works with adults and young people on common life stresses. Her listed concerns include anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting, trauma and ADHD among others.

She has spent much of her career helping children, youth, teens, and young adults who face trauma, abuse, ADHD, and anxiety. She also sees adults who want help managing life transitions and emotional ups and downs. Those presenting concerns often include relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and anger.

Her clinical work uses approaches drawn from attachment-based thinking, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and narrative ideas. In sessions she often focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and on small, practical steps that change day-to-day behavior.

When working with people from blended households she can address co-parenting stress, shifting roles, and loyalty conflicts. She aims to help individuals sort through expectations and set manageable boundaries without taking sides.

Her background includes long-term experience across age groups and settings. She describes herself as someone who respects each person's story and looks to build on strengths. To begin, she asks about current concerns, recent changes, and what a person hopes to see differ after a few sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current reactions. Online sessions using this lens look at recurring patterns in relationships and practical steps to change how someone connects with partners or children. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those goals. That collaboration helps adjust the plan if a technique does not feel helpful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity after a move. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than require extra hours away from family or work.
