About Kendra

Kendra Riley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience. She works from Indiana and has practiced with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical support and helping people tap their own strengths.

She trained at the Indiana University School of Social Work and has practiced in both Indiana and Illinois. Over the years she has helped people who struggle with life changes, parenting pressures, addictive behaviors, and questions about identity and relationships.

Background and approach

Her work often centers on spotting small changes that make daily life feel more manageable. Kendra listens first and then helps people set clear, achievable goals. She does not use one fixed method for everyone.

Instead she shapes sessions to fit each person's concerns and pace. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused so progress can be noticed between visits. Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and identifying personal strengths.

She uses approaches that encourage people to talk through what matters now and try strategies that fit their life. Practical steps and motivation are common parts of sessions. People who reach out can expect a calm, respectful style that values what they already do well.

Kendra aims to make therapy a useful part of daily life, not an added burden.

Online support

Approaches that work well online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It gives people space to describe what matters most and helps the therapist follow the client's lead to find practical next steps.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful for issues like addictions, lifestyle shifts, or when someone feels stuck and needs a nudge toward action.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, doable changes. Sessions look for what already works and build simple strategies to make daily life better quickly.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
