About Kendal
Kendal Martin is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, and addictions. Kendal centers sessions on the client’s own strengths and perspective.
Kendal uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She listens for practical patterns that keep problems active. From there she introduces concrete skills to manage symptoms and handle difficult moments. These may include thought-tracking, behavioral experiments, grounding, and breath-based awareness practices.
She also works with issues tied to relationships and identity, such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, body image, communication problems, and women’s issues. Kendal attends to shame, guilt, and forgiveness when these get in the way of daily life. She includes strategies for improving self-love and social confidence.
Sessions are paced to the client’s readiness. Kendal aims to help people notice small shifts they can use between meetings. She combines client-centered conversation with evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior methods, EMDR, and mindfulness work.
Kendal’s style is direct and practical. She helps people translate insight into doable steps. To begin, the next step is completing the brief matching form and scheduling a first session.

How Kendal blends approaches during remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and strengths. It centers the client’s priorities and lets the conversation guide which skills to try, useful for people wanting to be heard while finding direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help when intense emotions or relationship conflict keep coming up.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kendal will discuss options with the client, outline what each method looks like in sessions, and decide together which fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only options if video is difficult. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
