About Kenya
Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon with nine years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and adjustment to life changes. Sessions and goals focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day problems and improve coping skills.
Kenya leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy while also drawing from client-centered and psychodynamic ideas when they fit. She keeps conversations straightforward and centered on what people want to change. That can mean working on communication, emotion regulation, problem-solving, or shifting long-standing patterns rooted in family of origin issues.
In a session she listens, asks clear questions, and helps people set short-term goals. Work may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new responses to stressful moments, or mapping steps to repair strained relationships. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients define what success looks like.
Kenya also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, abandonment, caregiving stress, codependency, and parenting strain. She addresses concerns such as guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation, and forgiveness with practical strategies and skills practice.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist's stated methods and processes. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Kenya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT focuses on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship stress.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and find practical steps forward. Deciding which approaches to use is part of the work together; the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and choose the methods that fit best in session.
The therapist's online session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different formats may be better for quieter conversations, low-bandwidth connections, or shorter coaching-style meetings, and Kenya will discuss which setup suits the client's routine and goals.
