More about Kendra
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hi, my name is Kendra and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Indiana and Illinois. I graduated from the Indiana University School of Social Work. I have over 15 years of experience working with clients who are having difficulty coping with various life stressors, including anxiety, depression, loss/ grief, and relationship challenges.
My approach is to listen, provide support, and motivate clients to discover their strengths. Everyone is unique, so I don't believe in a cookie cutter approach.
I know that it's not always easy to reach out for help but it's one of the bravest things that one can do. I'm here to support you whenever you're ready. I am available for appointments Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in the evening.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Kendra is fantastic. Very respectful, responsive and tailors care to the individual. I highly recommend her!
Kendra is extremely helpful. She helps me think outside of the box and listens to me without me feeling judged. Kendra will message me checking in if our sessions are far and in between our normal session times. I have asked for homework at times and she sends it as soon as possible. I appreciate her therapy style and we are making progress.
She’s responsive. Have not had a session yet.
What may seem to be the obvious is on the surface, but there is a root to every decision made. Thanks Kendra for helping me in uproot!
