Kenya Amos, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Oregon

About Kenya

Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon. She brings nine years of direct clinical experience and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Kenya listens closely and helps clients set realistic goals they can use day to day.

Her main ways of working include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Background and approach

She adapts these methods to each person instead of using one fixed approach. Sessions tend to focus on clear skills, small experiments, and steps that connect to everyday life. Kenya also addresses issues that often show up around family and parenting, such as communication problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care topics, and family-of-origin concerns.

She supports people coping with trauma, depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, and the stress of life changes. Career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD are also part of her practice. Clients work with her through short-term problem-solving or longer work on deeper patterns, depending on what they need.

She aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk, learn new coping tools, and practice changes between sessions. All sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kenya uses a subscription model for scheduling and billing that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit daily life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as an individual. It creates space for someone to identify goals and feel heard while deciding what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflict.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try approaches, see what helps, and adjust goals and techniques based on real-world results and personal preferences. Sessions can be short-term and problem-focused or extend over time to work on deeper patterns.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions give a simple alternative when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide extra flexibility for quick check-ins, homework support, or steady contact between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to practice new skills when they matter 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.

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.
