About Kendra
Dr. Kendra Stuke is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She works with children, youth, teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating trauma, motivation struggles, ADHD, and life changes.
Her approach centers on listening and building on each person's strengths. She uses play-based methods with children and practical conversations with older clients. Sessions aim to help people make steady changes they can use between meetings.
Dr. Stuke uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That includes strategies that look at relationships and attachment, tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and narrative work to reframe difficult experiences. Mindfulness exercises are also part of her toolkit for stress and anxiety.
She has experience supporting people through family conflict, grief, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment questions, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Sessions are grounded in respect for each person's story and a practical focus on small, workable changes. Dr. Stuke aims to help clients build confidence, solve problems, and move through transitions with clearer choices.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps when past connections affect trust, closeness, or emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing new skills and testing different ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Stuke will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful. She adapts methods so the plan fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single model.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commute time, and try short check-ins when a full appointment is difficult. Some approaches lend themselves to homework or brief exercises that can be practiced between meetings, which helps keep progress moving in daily life.
