About Kendra

Kendra Rascoe uses a person-centered, solution-focused style to guide families and parents through practical changes. She emphasizes plain conversation and collaborative planning so people leave sessions with clear steps. Kendra speaks directly and calmly to help parents manage stress, parenting challenges, and relationship strain.

She trained at Liberty University and holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. Kendra is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and practices in Virginia.

Background and approach

Her background includes nearly a decade working in mental and behavioral health settings. Kendra draws on approaches like client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to help families find steadier routines. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and track progress.

Sessions mix practical skill teaching with space to talk through emotions. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She keeps language simple and focuses on what families can do between sessions to feel better.

Parents can expect a direct but warm presence in session. Kendra aims to help families identify small, manageable changes and build on them over time. She encourages questions and makes planning a shared process.

Approaches that translate well to online family work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives parents and family members space to describe what matters most and helps the therapist shape support around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills for changing thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active. It is helpful for parenting routines, mood, and managing reactions. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support calm moments during parenting or family conflict.

Kendra treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each family or parent about goals and then suggest which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed together and methods are adjusted based on what feels most useful for the household.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy parenting schedule and to use techniques in real time between sessions. Licensed professionals can coach parenting strategies, teach CBT exercises, and guide mindfulness practice through these formats so families can build new habits without extra travel.

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.
