About Kenlo
Kenlo McGowan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, relationship struggles, addictions, codependency, grief, and job-related stress. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps to reduce immediate obstacles so longer-term work can follow.
She favors a solution-focused style that targets what is getting in the way now. Kenlo also uses elements of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful beliefs that keep people stuck. That combination is often used with people facing addiction-related issues and difficulty setting boundaries.
Kenlo has substantial experience helping people cope with the impact of COVID-19 and with critical incident debriefing. She has also worked with clients managing trauma, physical disability impacts, caregiving strain, and workplace stress. Her background includes practical strategies for calming anxiety and improving sleep and focus.
In a session she listens without judgment and works collaboratively to set achievable goals. Expect straightforward feedback, behavioral tools, and exercises you can try between meetings. Conversations move from solving immediate problems to building longer-term coping skills.
To begin, a short intake helps clarify goals and priorities and identifies the techniques that fit best. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a focus on practical change and better day-to-day functioning.
How sessions work
How Kenlo’s approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to each person’s concerns, helping clarify goals and build motivation. It supports people who need space to talk through feelings and make decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that fuel codependent behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear interpersonal boundaries, which can help with intense mood swings and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review what you want to change and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - you and the therapist track what helps and adjust plans as needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into a workday break, reducing travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins when that suits your routine. It also makes it possible to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion for faster problem solving.
