About Kenya

Kenya Amos is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon with nine years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Kenya also lists areas such as codependency, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and jealousy.

Kenya uses primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy while drawing on Client-Centered and Psychodynamic ideas when helpful. In sessions she listens and helps people clarify their goals. She works in a direct, practical way, helping clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice different responses.

She often focuses on everyday skills - setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and rebuilding a clearer sense of self after difficult relationships or caregiving roles. Sessions can include skill practice, short problem-solving tasks, and reflecting on how past experiences shape current choices.

Kenya frames work around each person’s priorities rather than imposing one method. She helps people set small achievable steps toward coping better at home, at work, or in relationships. Her approach is straightforward and goal oriented, with room to talk through painful memories when needed.

How sessions work

How Kenya blends therapy methods for remote work

Kenya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when practical steps and homework make a difference. DBT teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and boundary work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenya treats the choice of methods as collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady, measurable progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen during a work break or between errands. Kenya’s methods lend themselves to practical at-home practice, skill coaching, and focused problem-solving that translate well to remote appointments.
