Kendra McKee , LCSW

Kendra McKee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings a practical, compassionate approach to individual and group therapy. With 12 years of experience, she has worked across outpatient clinics, schools, inpatient psychiatric settings, and primary care clinics, providing support to people facing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, sleep behavior problems, grief and loss, adjustment difficulties, and seasonal affective disorder. She also addresses a wide range of life challenges including stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family problems, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and transitions such as divorce or separation.

Kendra uses a client-centered stance that puts the person and their goals at the center of the work, while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and mindfulness strategies. That combination helps individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build practical coping skills, and use their existing strengths to make changes. Her experience includes helping people manage panic attacks, postpartum mood concerns, isolation and loneliness, grief in hospice and end-of-life contexts, and challenges around life purpose and financial stress.

As an LCSW, Kendra holds a professional clinical social work license and draws on training in mental health assessment and therapeutic intervention to tailor care to each person. She aims to create a collaborative environment where people can explore concerns, learn tools for managing symptoms, and work toward clearer, more manageable next steps.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support

Kendra integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive therapeutic relationship so the person feels heard and guided toward their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness Therapy uses present-focused awareness and simple attention practices to reduce stress, improve sleep, and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kendra approaches that decision collaboratively. She works with each person to clarify goals, try techniques that match their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps ensure the methods used fit the person’s preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to care by allowing appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from licensed professionals without travel. Kendra uses these formats to deliver focused, practical therapy that adapts to each person's needs.
