About Kendrick
Kendrick Kwoczalla is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with 16 years of clinical experience. He focuses on anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, motivation, and depression. Kendrick explains things plainly and aims to build a direct relationship during sessions.
He uses humor alongside serious work to make hard conversations easier. He describes many problems as learned ways of coping. In sessions he teaches practical skills and helps clients try new ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
That often means breaking unhelpful patterns and building more useful beliefs. Kendrick draws on treatments that target traumatic memories and on techniques that change thoughts and behaviors. Kendrick is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, and in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
He also uses solution-focused methods to help people set short-term goals and notice progress. His approach mixes skill teaching with problem solving so clients can see change between sessions. Sessions aim to be open and low on judgment.
Kendrick works to create trust so people can talk about painful topics and also laugh when it helps. He offers weekend availability every other week to accommodate different schedules. He practices in Indiana and conducts work in English.
People who want a straightforward style that blends practical tools, trauma-informed methods, and a bit of levity may find his way of working a good fit.
How Kendrick’s Methods Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on small, practical changes that can be practiced between sessions.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories. It helps reduce the intensity of those memories by pairing memory processing with guided bilateral stimulation, and it is often used when trauma symptoms are central.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Kendrick talks with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills-based CBT, EMDR, or solution-focused steps, and they adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online therapy lets clients connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy lives. Those options let people keep momentum between meetings and access support from home. The format supports flexible, ongoing work with a licensed therapist while allowing practical tools and trauma processing to continue regardless of location.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
