Monna Kendrick, LPCC - Therapist in Kentucky

About Monna

Monna Kendrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Her style is direct and supportive, aimed at making change feel doable for parents and caregivers juggling many responsibilities.

Her practice draws on practical skills and steady presence. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thinking patterns that worsen mood and anxiety.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are introduced in short, usable ways to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small steps toward the life they want. Kendrick’s background includes 15 years of experience and work in inpatient settings, both acute and residential, beginning with licensure in Kentucky in 2013.

That history shaped her ability to stay calm in crisis and to teach clear coping skills. She has supported people through trauma, addiction, bipolar disorder, panic, and suicidal thinking in clinical settings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

She emphasizes active listening and education, helping parents learn communication skills and coping tools they can use at home. The goal is realistic progress rather than quick fixes. Families and parenting concerns are included among the issues she addresses, with attention to communication, behavior, and emotional regulation.

Her approach centers on practical steps, empathy, and building routines that reduce stress and improve relationships.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying what matters and taking small actions toward those values. Online sessions use simple exercises and short homework tasks to build consistency between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. In remote sessions she guides people through step-by-step skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these are easy to practice between video or phone meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works collaboratively to figure out what fits. The therapist will check in about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That shared planning makes remote work feel tailored rather than generic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats let people choose what fits their routine and comfort level while keeping progress steady. The combination of practical therapies and accessible scheduling supports steady, usable change for daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
