About Kenya

Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon. She brings nine years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Kenya speaks English and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Kenya’s main tools include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, though she adapts methods to fit each person. She listens closely and works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on real-life strategies for coping, communication, and problem solving. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, and family of origin problems. Clients may bring worries about anger, isolation, jealousy, or challenges tied to ADHD. Kenya emphasizes that clients know their lives best. She supports people in discovering their own priorities and building steps that reflect those values. Her approach balances practical skill-building with thoughtful reflection about patterns and meanings.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience without judgment. It helps people clarify values and goals and encourages self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when strong feelings get in the way of daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways to combine methods. Sessions are meant to be collaborative so people can try tools and adjust the plan as they learn what helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in, and video sessions let people use visual cues when helpful. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and useful for real-life change.
