Kendra Scanlon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced in California since 2019. She came to therapy work after supporting people across a range of settings, and she focuses on helping clients move from surviving to thriving. Kendra listens for what matters most and helps people take the next small steps toward stronger motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
She has six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. Kendra also supports those facing low moods, mood dysregulation, relationship strain, and life changes that feel overwhelming. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and aims for simple, doable goals.
Kendra often works with people processing trauma and abuse, and she helps with eating concerns, body image, self-love, and anger. Sessions focus on what a person can change now and how to build steadier coping over time. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work.
In conversation she tends to be straightforward and encouraging. She helps people name small wins and build confidence through practice. Many clients come seeking clearer direction and tools they can use between sessions.
If you are weighing whether to reach out, Kendra encourages taking that step. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the fit feels. She supports people who want practical ways to improve mood and self esteem over time.
Evidence-based approaches and working online
Many of Kendra's clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that target mood and confidence. Cognitive-based strategies help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood and support better self esteem. Skills-based work focuses on building coping tools, emotion regulation, and small behavioral steps that increase motivation and confidence over time.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Kendra collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans based on what is working and what a person needs most in daily life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since current options are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain regular appointments. Phone or video choices can support shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or scheduled breaks from work depending on what is available and what feels most comfortable.
