About Kay
Kay Endres is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Kay focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the next steps they want to try. Sessions emphasize straightforward problem solving and realistic goal setting rather than abstract theory.
Her work covers communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, women's concerns, and workplace difficulties. Kay uses an approach that brings those topics into everyday language so people can see how change fits into their normal routines.
She encourages small experiments between sessions, such as trying new ways to set boundaries at work or testing different routines to manage anxiety. Progress is checked in simple ways so people can tell what helps and what needs adjusting.
Kay’s style is practical and direct. She aims to help people recognize obstacles, build coping strategies, and move toward choices that feel more manageable. To begin, prospective clients select the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Problem-focused strategies break big concerns into small, manageable tasks and help people try concrete changes between sessions.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Kay collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and daily life. She checks what feels useful and adjusts plans so the approach stays practical and relevant.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Discussing format and scheduling happens during the matching process so sessions can fit into everyday routines.
