About Kendra
Dr. Kendra Stuke is a KS LSCSW with 26 years of professional experience in clinical practice. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses relationship and family issues and has experience supporting people with ADHD and grief.
Her work has focused on children, youth, teens, and young adults facing trauma, abuse, ADHD, and anxiety. She has also helped adults move through life transitions and regain motivation and confidence. Much of her practice involves listening carefully and helping people find practical next steps.
Dr. Stuke uses approaches that encourage people to tell their stories and notice how past relationships affect current patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape expectations in close relationships.
In sessions she aims to build on the strengths people already have and work with them to set realistic, short-term goals. She can help people practice new skills, rethink anxious thinking, and plan small experiments to test what works. Parents and caregivers can expect clear explanations and practical suggestions.
Her location is Kansas and she works in English. Young adults dealing with leaving home, early career stress, relationship changes, or identity questions may find this practical, experience-based style useful. To start, follow the site's booking steps to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. In an online conversation this means noticing how expectations about closeness or independence show up now, and practicing different ways to ask for needs or set boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work with CBT usually involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts with simple experiments, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and try new stories about who they are and what they can do.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to try first based on the client’s goals, background, and what feels useful. That decision can change over time as goals shift and new challenges appear.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography did not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while juggling school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
