Online therapy options and therapeutic style
Kendal offers teletherapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to meet different communication preferences. In the online setting she maintains a client-centered stance, inviting the person seeking help to identify priorities and collaborate on how to proceed. Sessions are framed around the client’s goals and the tools that fit those goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and managing symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful when stronger coping tools are needed. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is another approach Kendal uses when working with trauma-related material, applied within a collaborative plan that respects the client’s pace.
Clients who prefer structured skill-building, skills practice across sessions, or an approach that integrates present-focused techniques and trauma processing may find a good fit. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.
