About Kendra

Kendra McKee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience working in Pennsylvania. She completed a Master of Social Work in 2010 and has provided both individual and group therapy in outpatient clinics, schools, inpatient psychiatric settings, and primary care. She commonly supports people facing depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, and adjustment problems.

Kendra uses a client-centered approach that keeps each person's goals in focus. She often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify strengths and small steps that make a difference.

Mindfulness strategies are offered to help manage stress, racing thoughts, and sleep disruption. Motivational Interviewing may be used to clarify values and encourage gradual change. Together these methods help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, and community clinics, so she is familiar with different care settings and transitions. She has worked with people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, panic and anxiety disorders, seasonal affective disorder, and those experiencing grief and loss.

Kendra focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. She helps clients identify strengths, set small goals, and practice new habits. Parents or people expecting a baby who are concerned about mood changes or postpartum depression can discuss those specific worries during sessions.

How Kendra’s approaches translate to online care

Kendra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is practical and task-focused, which works well for worries, panic, low mood, and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to set small, achievable goals and build on existing strengths to create forward momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean emphasizing mindfulness exercises one week and practicing a CBT skill the next.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people find virtual sessions helpful for keeping continuity after a life change or when juggling caregiving and appointments. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule to see what fits your routine.
