About Kendra

Kendra McKee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of clinical experience. She has provided individual and group therapy in outpatient clinics, schools, inpatient psychiatric settings, and a primary care clinic. Her work focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, sleep behavior problems, grief and loss, and adjustment to life changes.

Kendra commonly supports people who struggle with negative thoughts, low self-esteem, and high stress. She also addresses issues linked to mood disorders and seasonal shifts in mood. Her background includes work with clients coping with panic, postpartum mood changes, and workplace stress.

In sessions she uses a client-centered approach and draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing tools. Conversations often center on identifying practical patterns, testing small changes, and building on strengths the client already has.

Kendra describes her method as straightforward and focused on what you want to change. She helps people notice thought patterns, try alternative behaviors, and track what works. Sessions can include short exercises, goal-setting, and moment-to-moment mindfulness practices.

Her prior settings give her experience with caregivers, hospice and end-of-life counseling, communication problems, divorce and separation, and grief. People who come for help with family-related stress, relationship difficulties, or caretaking strain often find concrete steps to manage daily demands. If you are looking for practical conversation and visible next steps, she aims to offer that support.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Kendra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and sleep problems by breaking larger issues into specific, changeable parts.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques. Mindfulness can help with rumination, grief, and chronic stress by slowing down reactions and improving focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals commonly use a mix of conversation, brief exercises, and guided mindfulness in remote sessions to keep work practical and applicable to daily life.
