About Monna

Monna Kendrick is an LPCC practicing in Kentucky who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she brings a background in inpatient acute and residential care to work with clients facing panic, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar mood challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem and communication. She also addresses life transitions such as caregiving, aging and geriatric concerns, end-of-life issues, and the isolation that can accompany major change.

Her approach centers on support and education delivered through attentive listening and empathy, using evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques. Monna aims to create a therapeutic space where clients feel heard and guided while learning practical skills for coping, emotion regulation, and improved relationship patterns.

She offers services in English and works with clients across a broad spectrum of backgrounds and needs within Kentucky.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Work

Monna frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed ideas to help clients build practical skills and shift unhelpful patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance of difficult feelings, helping people cope with grief, chronic stress, and life transitions. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and early dynamics that can influence current communication and intimacy challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and practical needs, adapting methods over time so treatment aligns with what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into work, caregiving, or other life demands while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care.
