Kenya Amos, LPC, LMHC

Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, based in Oregon. She brings nine years of experience as a clinician who listens closely and helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Kenya values straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit each person’s life.

Her approach often centers on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas, with solution-focused methods added when useful. She adapts these methods to the person in front of her rather than sticking rigidly to one model. Sessions focus on building skills, noticing unhelpful patterns, and setting realistic goals.

Kenya has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and career concerns. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care challenges, codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and family of origin problems. Her aim is to help people name what’s happening and find manageable ways forward.

In sessions she listens without judgment and partners with clients to clarify priorities. Practical tools and simple experiments between meetings are common parts of the work. Kenya encourages people to use their own values to define progress, and she helps them track small changes that add up.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used, which can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people set their own goals. It’s useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by offering clear exercises and experiments to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal skills. It can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving how someone handles conflict or overwhelming situations.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based plan for a while or blending approaches as needs change.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt materials, worksheets, and skill practice to work well over distance, helping clients keep progress moving between sessions.
