About Kennedy

Kennedy Fowle is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD-related concentration issues, and compassion fatigue. She holds an LCSW in Oregon and a LICSW in Washington. Kennedy aims to make the first step toward change feel more doable and less intimidating.

Her tone is warm and straightforward, focused on practical next steps rather than jargon. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared.

Background and approach

Sessions are meant to feel collaborative, with attention to what matters most to each person. Kennedy listens for patterns that get in the way of daily functioning and targets small changes clients can try between visits. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.

That means sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and setting clear, manageable goals. Kennedy helps people build skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and more consistent routines. With three years of clinical experience, she brings a practical, hands-on approach to care.

Kennedy tailors methods to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She offers sessions in English and holds licenses in both Oregon and Washington. Parents reading here will find straightforward support around parenting concerns and stress.

Kennedy encourages small, concrete steps that can improve day-to-day life and make parenting feel a bit easier to navigate over time.

How Kennedy’s approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to see what helps. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, concentration, and practical parenting strategies.

DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when strong emotions or impulsivity make daily life harder and when people want concrete tools to manage reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kennedy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques based on how a client responds and focuses on simple, actionable steps that fit their life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow sessions to fit around parenting schedules, work, and other obligations. They also let people practice skills in real time and check in between longer sessions, which can make progress steadier and more practical.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
