Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Kendal uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on practical steps that change feelings by changing thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their bodies and emotions without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness can be useful for managing intense emotions, improving focus, and reducing reactivity in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendal will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That conversation is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or problems change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for deeper conversations when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for short updates, tracking progress, or quick skills practice between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when in-person meetings are not possible.
