Kenya Amos, LPC, LMHC

Kenya Amos is a licensed counselor based in Oregon who brings focused, compassionate support to people facing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. With 9 years of professional experience, she works with a wide range of concerns including stress, grief, parenting and family issues, self-esteem, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses more specific experiences such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and isolation.

Kenya holds LPC and LMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - which indicate formal training and state approval to provide mental health care. She draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, adapting techniques to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. That flexible stance allows her to blend skills training, practical problem solving, and exploration of patterns to match clients goals and needs.

Known for active listening and a collaborative approach, Kenya supports clients in setting achievable objectives and discovering strengths that guide growth. She emphasizes meeting people where they are, helping them build coping strategies and clearer communication, and partnering with clients to move toward their own definitions of success. Kenya offers therapy through multiple online and phone-based formats to increase accessibility for those seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kenya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Solution-Focused techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths, resources, and small, achievable steps so clients can make progress toward specific goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kenya collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single framework. This cooperative process helps determine which techniques will be most useful and how they can be adapted over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, as well as live chat and text-based messaging, make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and daily life. With these options, licensed professionals can provide consistent support, skill-building, and problem solving from a distance while working together to meet therapy goals.
