Kenyada Wagoner, LCSW - Therapist in California

About Kenyada

Kenyada Wagoner is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what feels most urgent to each person. Her aim is to help someone move from overwhelmed to more steady, with steps that fit their life.

Kenyada draws on several therapy styles to match what the client needs. She uses client-centered work to build a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make a big difference over time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. She believes therapy should be individualized.

That means combining techniques and pacing work to fit each person's situation and goals. For parents, she offers clear strategies for navigating common parenting stress and blended family transitions. Kenyada has six years of clinical experience and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. People meet her and work step by step on what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and small shifts that add up.

The tone is straightforward and supportive so parents can apply ideas between sessions.

Approaches that translate to online care

Kenyada commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from, so the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to shift patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kenyada will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on goals and what feels useful. That collaborative process helps shape sessions to fit daily life and parenting demands.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, school runs, or work. They also let people use tools learned in sessions immediately at home, which can speed up habit changes and make skill practice more convenient.

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.
