About Kendra

Kendra McKee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She has practiced in Pennsylvania for over a decade and brings 12 years of experience to her clinical work. She has provided both individual and group therapy across settings including outpatient clinics, schools, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and a primary care clinic.

Her practice focuses on common and painful problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and trouble sleeping. She also addresses workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Parents and caregivers may find her helpful for concerns such as caregiving stress, postpartum depression, and family problems. Kendra uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Solution-Focused Therapy and mindfulness techniques. She keeps the conversation centered on each person’s goals and strengths.

Sessions typically involve noticing thought patterns, trying small, practical changes, and building skills that fit daily life. Her background includes training and hands-on work with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment difficulties, and grief. Her varied clinical settings mean she is used to shifting pace to meet different needs, whether short-term problem solving or more sustained work.

People who prefer clear, goal-oriented sessions with room for compassion may find her approach a good fit. She works in English and practices under the Pennsylvania LCSW credential PA LCSW CW018060.

How Kendra’s Approaches Work Online

Kendra commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people manage stressful thoughts and daily mood. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zoom in on concrete goals and what is already working. That approach is brief and action-oriented, which can be helpful for busy lives or specific problems. Deciding which combination to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review needs, pick a plan, and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions offer flexibility, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or between-session work. These options let people access care from home and try different formats to find what helps most.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
