About Kendra
Kendra Riley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Illinois and Indiana with 16 years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, relationship concerns, addictions, LGBT issues, and problems with self-esteem and life changes. Kendra trained at the Indiana University School of Social Work and has spent many years helping people manage everyday pressures.
She prefers a straightforward approach in sessions. Kendra listens, offers support, and helps clients notice strengths they already have. She does not use a one-size-fits-all model; she shapes conversations to fit each person’s situation. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Kendra uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help when change feels hard, and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. These approaches guide how she structures conversations and plans next steps.
Her work often centers on coping skills for anxiety and low mood, strategies for managing parenting stress, and support after loss. She talks through practical problems, helps people weigh options, and works toward realistic goals. Kendra aims to make therapy useful for the things people deal with between sessions.
She provides services from Indiana and holds licensure in both Indiana and Illinois. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. It helps when someone needs an open place to talk through daily stress, relationship problems, or feelings of low mood. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels difficult. It uses questions and reflection to clarify goals and build momentum for small steps. Solution-focused therapy looks for practical next steps and builds short-term goals to make progress on specific issues such as parenting stress or coping with grief.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kendra will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan together as sessions proceed. That collaborative process helps decide what to try first and how to measure progress.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel on an evening that would otherwise be spent commuting. Licensed professionals often use goal-focused sessions so people can try changes between meetings and return with real examples to discuss.
