About Kenya

Kenya Amos is an LPC, LMHC based in Oregon who focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She draws on nearly a decade of formal counseling experience to guide practical steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people name what’s happening and set realistic goals. Sessions often include checking current coping skills, trying new strategies, and practicing ways to shift reactions in daily life. The tone is nonjudgmental and focused on what the person wants to change.

Her work blends methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with solution-focused techniques. Kenya adapts these approaches to each person’s needs rather than sticking to one fixed plan. This means discussions can range from exploring patterns that fuel anger to building moment-to-moment skills for regulation.

With experience addressing depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, ADHD challenges, and caregiver strain, she supports many practical concerns. Additional focuses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, communication problems, and grief.

Sessions are carried out in English. International clients are not accepted. The therapist uses a subscription model for payment that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy begins by listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and lift mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for tolerating distress, regulating intense emotions, and improving communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then collaborate on which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate situations into the conversation. Licensed professionals, including this clinician, aim to match approach and scheduling to each person’s needs and daily life.
