About Kenya
Kenya Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon. She brings nine years of counseling experience and a practical, person-centered approach to sessions. Kenya focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting concerns.
She also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, anger, work stress, and ADHD. Kenya favors approaches that help people make real changes in daily life.
Background and approach
She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to build emotional regulation. Solution-focused strategies are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress over time. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when exploring patterns that repeat across relationships.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kenya listens without judgment and helps people name priorities, try new strategies, and adjust those plans based on what works. She frames therapy as a collaboration where the client’s perspective guides each step.
People turn to Kenya for issues such as parenting stress, family problems, communication difficulties, abandonment or adoption-related concerns, caregiver strain, and complications after divorce or infidelity. She also addresses compassion fatigue and career strain through coaching-style conversations. Her practice offers flexible online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Kenya works in English and provides care to people located within Oregon. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect prospective clients to her services.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and lived experience, with the therapist listening carefully and reflecting to help clients clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to sort out parenting choices, relationship priorities, or personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought patterns that make problems worse and then practice different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills; it can help when emotions feel intense or relationships are turbulent.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying techniques and adjusting them if needed. That collaborative process helps identify what fits and what to change as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people practice skills in a face-to-face way, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be a helpful shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside parenting and work responsibilities.
