Kendra McKee, LCSW

Kendra McKee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania. She holds a Master of Social Work degree earned in 2010 and brings years of experience providing both individual and group therapy across a range of clinical environments. Her professional background includes work in traditional outpatient clinics, schools, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and a primary care clinic, where she supported people facing mood disorders, anxiety, sleep behavior issues, grief and loss, adjustment challenges, and seasonal mood shifts.

In clinical work she emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance, helping people identify strengths and clarify goals while adapting therapeutic tools to each person’s needs. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, uses Solution-Focused strategies to set practical goals, and incorporates mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills. Kendra frequently works with individuals coping with negative thoughts, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and stress management, and she offers support for life changes, relationship and family issues, career challenges, caregiver stress, and end-of-life worries.

Her approach is practical and supportive, aimed at helping people recognize patterns that contribute to difficulty, try new ways of responding, and draw on their own strengths to move toward meaningful change.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What They Offer

Kendra McKee draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and goals - this approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and improving relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic-related symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can support emotional regulation and lessen reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kendra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. She emphasizes practical, skill-based work paired with exploring strengths.

Online therapy with Kendra is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without needing to travel.
