About Kenya
Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career pressures, ADHD, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted.
Kenya uses several therapy styles in her work, mainly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. She combines these approaches with client-centered and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person's needs. Her focus is practical: she helps clients notice patterns, test new ways of thinking, and build skills for handling emotions and conflict.
In sessions she listens closely and helps people set clear goals. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way and what small steps could change day-to-day life. She also addresses long-standing family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency, and caregiving stress.
Kenya supports people dealing with relationship challenges like infidelity, jealousy, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence histories. She also works with clients facing isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and career or parenting transitions.
Practical coaching and coping strategies are woven into therapy when useful. Therapy uses a collaborative approach where the person and Kenya decide which techniques will be tried. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process and schedule an initial session.
How Kenya’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s viewpoint. It helps when someone needs space to clarify values and personal goals while feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques for changing them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenya will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT skill practice for a few weeks, then adding DBT strategies for emotion tolerance, or shifting to solution-focused steps to tackle a specific problem.
The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Many people appreciate shorter travel time and the ability to schedule sessions around school or work.
