About Kendra

Kendra Stenack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Kendra emphasizes the strengths each person already has and supports them through hard moments with steady guidance.

Kendra approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to a person's story and uses that narrative to find practical steps forward. Her style often weaves together attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and mindfulness so clients can try different ways to manage thoughts and emotions.

People come to her for issues related to trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship tensions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns around adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, cancer, caregiver stress, and end-of-life matters. Kendra has experience addressing social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and midlife transitions.

Her training includes graduate study in clinical and counseling psychology and additional coursework and certifications relevant to grief, trauma, and hypnotherapy. Kendra uses plain language in sessions and focuses on doable tools rather than long lectures. She encourages small, concrete changes that fit into everyday life.

Signing up for therapy can feel hard and she recognizes that first steps take courage. Kendra aims to help people find moments of relief and clearer direction while they work through difficult experiences.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early bonds shape how people relate now. Online work using attachment ideas can help people notice patterns and practice new ways of connecting and trusting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective and gives space to be heard; it helps when someone needs a calm place to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; CBT exercises can be done between sessions and reviewed together online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendra will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and can change over time if something isn’t helping.

Confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It also allows use of written exercises, guided mindfulness practices, and homework that can be reviewed together in subsequent meetings. Ask about scheduling options and how sessions will be arranged so they match daily routines and commitments.
