About Kendra

Kendra Covington is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience. She focuses on attachment-based work and practical strategies to help people improve relationships and cope with life’s challenges. She helps with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and intimacy concerns.

Kendra also supports people dealing with parenting stress, grief, anger, depression, anxiety, and addiction-related worries. She takes care to listen and respond with sensitivity and respect. Her sessions are shaped around each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She uses approaches like attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and acceptance and commitment ideas to guide conversations. Clients can expect straightforward, collaborative planning rather than one-size-fits-all advice. Kendra works with issues that often stem from family background and attachment patterns, including blended family concerns, fatherhood stress, codependency, and family-of-origin hurts.

She also helps with impulse control, jealousy, infidelity, and the effects of caregiving strain. People who meet with her can work on skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and setting boundaries. The goal is clearer understanding and more workable daily habits.

Kendra aims to empower people to take realistic steps toward healthier relationships and better day-to-day functioning.

Online support

Attachment work and practical therapy online

Attachment-based Therapy focuses on how early connections affect current relationships, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of relating to partners and family. It is useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and learning healthier emotional responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that keep someone stuck in avoidance or worry.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small, practical changes that reduce distress. It works well for mood disorders, anxiety, impulsivity, and habit-based problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in, and messaging or live chat can fit short updates or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to get consistent support from home, work, or between commitments.
