About Kenneth

Kenneth Roy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 17 years of experience. He has spent much of his career helping children and adolescents in outpatient and inpatient settings. He focuses on common concerns parents bring to therapy, including anxiety, depression, behavior challenges, and problems at school or home.

His style is direct and supportive. He keeps sessions engaging and interactive while using clear, practical techniques. Parents can expect concrete strategies they can try between sessions and straightforward explanations of what interventions aim to do.

Background and approach

Kenneth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. He adapts those approaches to the needs of each young person and family. This means he may teach skills for managing strong feelings, build routines, or set small achievable goals.

He has worked in both outpatient clinics and inpatient settings, giving him experience across different levels of care. That background informs how he plans step-by-step changes for behavior and mood. He pays attention to safety, daily routines, and what will work in the family’s real life.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapy model aims to be practical and paced to each family’s comfort and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. It often involves skill practice and clear steps to try between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches coping skills for intense emotions and helps with frustration, anger, and relationship strain. It includes short, teachable strategies for calming down and improving communication.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is working now and on setting concrete, achievable goals. Sessions move quickly toward practical next steps rather than long histories.

Kenneth approaches choosing a method as a team effort. He will talk with the family about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the plan fits daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into school and work schedules, practice skills in real time, and stay connected between visits. Licensed professionals can use the same skill-building methods online that they use in person, while tailoring pace and tools to what works for each family.

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.

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.
