About Kenyada
Kenyada Wagoner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, or the challenges of parenting. She also helps people who are dealing with grief, body image concerns, social anxiety, or questions about life purpose.
Kenyada focuses on practical work in sessions. She listens to what is causing distress and helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior. She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to reduce symptoms and build coping strategies. Sessions may include skill practice and reflection on how daily habits affect mood and relationships.
Her approach draws from several well-known therapies, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. This mix lets her shift between structured skills work and more open, reflective conversations as needed. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior therapy inform how she supports motivation and emotional regulation.
Kenyada emphasizes collaboration. She and each client set practical goals and check progress together. That might mean focusing on communication in relationships, managing intrusive thoughts, or planning steps after a separation.
She offers sessions in English and practices in California. People considering therapy are asked to complete an intake process to match on goals and scheduling before booking their first session.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It involves reflective conversation and letting the client's concerns guide each session, which can help when people feel unsure about priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and experiments to test beliefs and change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Skills practice can reduce reactivity and improve communication in strained relationships.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means sessions can shift toward skills training, more reflective conversation, or a combination as progress and needs change.
Practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and having shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the exact session options and formats before booking, since they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to attend meetings around work, childcare, or medical appointments without assuming a particular setup.
