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 focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Kenya’s approach centers on real-world strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that move a person forward. Psychodynamic and client-centered ideas may appear when useful.
In a session, she listens and helps clients set concrete goals. Conversations aim to clarify what matters now and what steps feel doable. She supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and conflicts that come with divorce, infidelity, or separation.
Kenya also works with people facing abandonment, adoption or foster care questions, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, jealousy, and forgiveness work. She includes coaching-style conversations for career direction and coping with change. Her style emphasizes practical tools rather than lengthy theory.

How Kenya’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps with building personal goals and clarifying values when life feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, mood swings, and intense stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit current needs and goals. That might mean starting with CBT tools for immediate symptoms, then adding solution-focused steps or DBT skills as problems become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. When scheduling, consider whether you prefer video for face-to-face conversation or an audio check-in for a shorter update; discuss these preferences during the initial matching questionnaire and first session to find what works in everyday life.
