About Kenya
Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses straightforward, practical methods to help people move forward. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable.
With nine years of counseling experience in Oregon, Kenya blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, realistic steps that lead to change. Kenya works in a collaborative way. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals.
Sessions often include practical exercises, such as skill practice, thought reframing, or short behavioral experiments done between appointments. She also pays attention to deeper life themes when useful. Psychodynamic ideas may be brought in to look at recurring patterns and where they come from.
That helps when struggles repeat across relationships or over time. Common concerns she addresses include parenting stress, grief, career transitions, self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving burdens, codependency, and communication or trust problems.
Kenya offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are provided in English in Oregon.
Therapeutic approaches for online counseling
Kenya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy during online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. It often involves simple exercises and steps to try between sessions. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process means therapy can shift toward problem solving, skill building, or exploring longer-standing patterns depending on your needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you work face to face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or useful when screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, focused coaching, and ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. Together these formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and try approaches that match your pace and comfort.
