About Kendra
Kendra Covington is a licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anger, depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She aims to meet people where they are and speak in clear, direct language.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions often include efforts to identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, and to build better ways of coping with strong emotions.
Background and approach
Kendra also works on attachment concerns and family-related issues that affect relationships and parenting. Clients meet a therapist who values respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Kendra emphasizes collaboration and builds treatment plans around the goals people bring to sessions.
She explains options and helps prioritize steps that feel doable and relevant. Over the years she has helped people manage trauma, grief, addictive behaviors, and challenges tied to identity and intimacy. Her work includes support for caregivers and people dealing with codependency, impulsivity, and mood concerns.
She is familiar with the strain that parenting and blended-family dynamics can cause. Therapy sessions can use several formats to fit different schedules and needs. Kendra offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendra will review options with clients and decide together which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. That collaborative decision can be revisited as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video calls mirror an in-person visit and allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people build consistent habits between sessions.
